thumbsup A very! high recommendation from me Imnotworthy ..obvious to see the level of care and attention shown to car and! customer.. Very informative on the phone (no tutting and sighing at the silly questions being asked) and booked me in for first thing the following day. I arrived to be greeted enthusiastically, by what turned out later to be the boss 'Mike', who after a short chat about my concerns with the car, prompted someone to take a test drive. With tea and coffie readily offered (along with some toast..which i thought was a nice touch) as well as regular updates on their work progress, it all went smoothly and i felt well looked-after. They are Lotus/TVR/Porche specialists, with quite a few years race tuning experience behind them and you get the impression the guy could take most! things apart and put them back together better than they were. They came and showed me the colour of the brake fluid (having watched them syringe it out) and it was very! dark, so they changed that too, they also drew my attention to some rear disc scarring not picked-up before. After doing the work (with soft mats protecting the paintwork) and test driving her a final time, they soaped and washed her down ready.. She drives like a dream now and stops like one too (been thinking i need new pads :rolleyes: )..so they definately get my! thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup for a good job done B) Imnotworthy

thumbsup geo's been done and transformed the feel but i'll have to wait untill the tyres have more grip, to see if it's better than ever :unsure: not sure exactly how much (i'll correct myself tomorrow if need be, bill's in the car) but i think it was £80.. :)

:) either one of them will answer the phone (but from what i saw, it'll probably be wendy) but both know their stuff and what she doesn't know, he will :) it's great to find a central place for our smaller issues thumbsup but as you, i would prefer TMS for engine upgrades and the bigger stuff thumbsup
