Need a mechanic

[tamara]

Hi does anyone know of a good honest mechanic in the SW London area please.?

Tamara, try to get hold of either M0ki or Toomanytoys via PM who have been known to travel to help a fellow 80-90 user in their hour of need.


Regards,

There might be someone in our wiki list of T25 recommended garages here -> https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Ga ... 5_Specific" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - What do you need doing ?

[tamara]

Thankyou there are none on this wiki list and the other two suggested are too far away but thank you very much for the replys

[what2do]

Again, what needs doing?

[tamara]

hi been told i need a new engine so need someone to look at it and possible strip it for me? had a compression test done and number 4 was only 75psi

New engine..?
I don't think so...someone is yanking your chain there.

You just need some new barrels and pistons.
It can be done with the engine in place.

[tamara]

Having trouble finding someone local as she doesn't drive well

[kevtherev]

are you in a breakdown service?

[tamara]

Yes RAC

I have had no dealings of them, do this is not a recommendation, it is just to make you aware they are there.
There is a VW campervan hire company in Streatham that has it's own mechanic that sometimes does work for outside customers. Might be worth talking to.

Like I say, I have no experience of them

[tamara]

Yes i know them just around the corner i have never used them but i heard they were good so i recommended them to someone and i do not know the full story but i heard they messed up there engine so im a bit reluctant to use them,would of been perfect otherwise he is the next street from me

Hi Tamara, might be worth giving Olly at T25 Direct a call for help/advice - they're based in East Dulwich so not to far away:

£1000 !!
I'm in the wrong business.

Maybe it's London prices, maybe not.. they would be out of business up here
One head costs £286 complete.. FYI
