Struggling to find a mechanic / garage that will take on big or odd jobs?

This is what we love to do. So please get in touch.

This Range Rover L405 4.4 V8 came in with suspected engine failure. We checked and found the metal in the oil, a major oil leak and that the crank shaft wasn't running true. The engine was sent to a engineering firm to see if it was possible to repair, but sadly it was too far gone.

After a bit of digging on the customers end they found the L322 shares the same heads, block and manifold.

A L322 engine was sourced and the big swap commenced. Both engines stripped bare, and the L322 4.4 tdv8 got a new lease of life. With new oil pump, oil cooler, egr cooler, sump and the list goes on.

After we got the engine in, up and running, we carried out an oil flush, a gearbox service and replaced both rear suspension airbags.

This job was an absolute mammoth task. But it's nice to see it finally come together.

Did you know that we are also a Porsche specialist?

We have 7 years experience working on Porsches. From the original 991 to the latest 992.2 we've worked on them all.

This lovely green Boxster came in for a pre-sales inspection, during which a lot of major issues were identified.
We replaced every brake pipe due to corrosion and removed the engine and gearbox to fix the multiple oil leaks.
While we had the gearbox separated from the engine we replaced the clutch for no additional labour.

Now the customer has it back and has done around 800 miles and loves every minute of it!!!

Here's something special, that we've had in recently.

Noble was in for a service and gear cable change. What a lovely car this was to work on.

Jaguar was in for handbrake cable replacement. Such a great example. So clean and well taken care of.

What a great pair these are together.

We do everything from your daily driver to your weekend toys and everything in-between.

Don't get caught out when buying cars or vans!!!

Take advantage of our pre-sales check when going to look at a car.

Sadly one of our customers got caught out. They bought this van for a house move, and it broke down on the same day of purchase and on the first drive.

The clutch pedal went straight to the floor and wouldn't return. They got it recovered to our garage, for me to immediately find this. A completely rusted chassis leg. To the point of failure and engine falling out of the van. It also has a few other similar holes around the van.
This van now has a date booked in with the scrap yard, as it is uneconomical to repair.
