I've just bought an N/A VX220 and Id like to change the timing chain to put my mind at rest (had a VXT years ago which destroyed its engine - can't be chewed to go through that again!)

It also needs the rear suspension looking at.

Can anyone recommend a garage / handy z22se specialist who'd be up for the job? I've been ringing around the usual suspects but only getting humms and harrs.

And I really don't want to go to Vauxhall!

Booked in with Dan at SPS. Cheers Sean!

I had read his name a few times but could never find his details after Jude Performance closed. I feel like Ive called every other garage in the NE only for each one to grumble about how much they hate those cars! Hahaha.

Much appreciate. Thanks again.

I took my TVR Griffith to SPS Automotive (now renamed British Sportscar Services) for an engine rebuild. Less than 1,000 miles later it went bang.

It was still under warranty having been done less than a year ago.
Dan would not answer my phone calls or return my voicemails......
He was also paid in cash......

I shipped it off to a Rover V8 specialist who found it had a cheap Chinese cam fitted and a loose jubilee clip in the sump.

Any company who doesn't have a landline doesn't want to be contacted. British Sportscar Services does NOT have a landline. Good luck if you have a problem.
