Not that he doesn't already have a good enough reputation but I think it's only fair to praise Liam for his work today:

 

7th service

Replaced side engine mounts

Poly bushes fitted for front/rear engine mounts

Suspension geo

Replaced fog light

Replaced aux belt

Fixed knocking/play in steering

 

All in a day's work and for a price I think was pretty reasonable given the amount of work involved.

 

Will always recommend him for anyone needing work doing if you want a reliable and well-priced service, and someone to natter to as well!

Which one was yours? Dropped mine off with Liam today to take the next step in tuning. Not sure if you seen it, a black one.

Yeah thats the one, im going stage 3 but with all the stage 4 bits just not the clutch yet, couldnt quite stretch that far but also thought may aswel wait until mine actually goes before replacing it. I seen yours in there, was it the 56 plate?

Yeah that was mine :) . Fair enough mate. At stage 3 I would've thought your clutch will give up soon enough anyway so won't be long before you can get upgraded :D

Ive gone for the stage 4 intercooler, try a different route than the CC, 80mm intake, larger plenum, balancer shaft deletion, bottom pulley etc etc, only thing i should need to do is clutch and map. Stayed at stage 3 to keep her indoors happy but if the clutch goes it will HAVE to be fixed wont it :) Asheey Which one was yours, was it in the workshop having major works?

I have used MMG for the last couple of years. I think it is rare to find such personal and honest service like this in the trade any more and also commend Liams business. I have no problems travelling the 100 miles each way to use his services.

Indeed, it's a rare and welcome quality to find in the motor profession.

:yeahthat:

 

Good luck with stage 3 and not replacing the clutch. I needed to replace my clutch pretty soon after stage 3. A lot of cars need it at stage 2, let alone stage 3. So please bear this in mind :)

Cheers for the heads up but i know will need one soon but thought would wait until its starting to go than renew now, car has been stage 2 a while now and the clutch isnt slipping at all so fingers crossed i get a few more months out of it yet. Just out of interest what are the recommendations on clutch, paddle or not to paddle?

Liam has suggested the 6 paddle to me, how is it to drive, not on and off as some say? It is a daily drive
