Hi all,
I'm struggling to find a T25 mechanic to take care of my bus, can any one recommend one near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk?
MOT failure; Complete Exhaust, ARB links, amongst other things - parts bought just need them fitted.
I've tried a few local garages but no one wants to touch the exhaust, saying the studs will just snap off and it's a big job if they do?
Thanks very much.
Garrick

Exhaust not a massive job, easier with the engine out, and that's easier than it sounds.
try these guys, they might know someone if they don't do it

thanks guys, I'll give them a call tomorrow!
I would try the exhaust myself but know that sods law says all the studs would snap and by the time I find the time to get the engine out summer would be over!!

takes four hours to remove the engine, VW designed it to all come out in one.
no removing anything first, the whole lot drops out
easy
