Club 80-90 Forums

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.

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 ?

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

Again, what needs doing?

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.

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

are you in a breakdown service?

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

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:
