[hobson]

Anyone recommend a place that are sensible enough to work on fairly straighforward performance cars. Maybe someone who would do Renault sport, kits etc?

I think the thruster bearing is on the way out, I can feel it on the clutch. Not sure, but it may be an engine out job, in which case I want a new lump and clutch anyway.

I'm also looking at getting a new exhaust shipped from France, but even that seems complicated to fit in the WS manual, use once only bolts, set to torque whilst engine warm quite a polava, (to me anyway).

Well good job he gets referrals cos directory enquiries haven't got a listing and I can't find him on the web or in YP.

He has just opened a new place so is waiting for the listing I think.
It's the old Bristol mini centre, hillfields avenue, in Bristol, now called DC Autocare.
He was the brains behind my S3C getting back onto the road, have a gander at my profile for pics.

Sounds like the sort of guy I'm looking for, thanks for that. I'm looking to sell the GTA and get either an S or possibly a Vixen.

I got his address and tel no at home. I will find it and post it later.

NGR,

Had a look at that guy's website. Looks like they are the business, will need to look into it, though I suspect they are not cheap.

The old girl is getting sicker with each outing so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get fixed or get shot.

I have found an Alpine specialist down in Weymouth, there's another in Glouc. but I've had mixed reports on them.
