Alan, how long will the work take, and when? I might be interested, wouldn't want paying as long as you'd cover the fuel :D

Alan, how long will the work take, and when?I'm hoping to get the car back around the 23rd August or maybe earlier when i get back to the UK, all the work will take around 1 week.
I would of course cover the cost of petrol and a return train ticket :)
I plan to pick the car up myself as it's going to mikeythemini for a wee ice install

Looks like you have several offers now Bonnie, but Padiham isnt too far from my neck of the woods - so if you are struggling or want somewhere to stay on your return leg let me know.


Some cracking roads round here to try out the new engine too ;)

Im still tempted to do a "last of the summer wine run" - could use this a recce ;)

If you're really stuck I would quite happily do it too, providing I can get the time off, getting close to our busy time..

Been down there before too, my mates car had a crap standard exhaust when he got there, didn't plan on spending anything at all, but we fair razzed out of there with his new stage one kit fitted :D:D:D

I'll be going down to pick him up myself and also stopping off at mikeythemini for a wee install too, so that'll take around 3 days
