Local Mechanic - Anyone need cheap work doing?

Right, I put this on Dubnortheast and a few other local forums a while ago, might aswel pop it on here too.

I can perform diagnostics and any mechanical work for members on here for very good prices. I have access to full VAGCOM and hopefully in the next few weeks VAGTACHO too so I will be able to code keys/clocks/ecu's etc, change mileages (within reason), diagnose problems and also enable silly mods like anti hi-jack, illuminated needles etc etc.

I can also fix MOT failures, replacement or upgraded parts, coilovers, tyres, all that stuff, swap clutches, gearboxes. I can also do engine swaps but I doubt there will be much of that on here. Just ask for a price. For an example though

£35 to fit coilovers
£45 to fit lowering springs
£20 to fit driveshaft
£5 per droplink
£25 for discs and pads
£10 to change oil and filters

As you can see, I'm probs about a third the cost of your local garage and a fifth the cost of Dealers. I can fit you in late at night, Sunday afternoons etc.

An example of cars i've worked on

106, 205, 206, 306, 406, Saxo, Xsara, Golf, Polo, Fox, Passat, Ibiza, Leon, Pajero, Defenders, Range Rovers, Impreza, 3 series, Civic, Corsa, Yaris, Arosa, Transit, Sprinter, Mini

Just a quick list but i've worked on alsorts and I'm happy to try something new.

Good post mate. When i get round to it ill make a section/page with some details on for you buddy.

Cheers dude. If you can make a how-to section to i'll start popping tutorials up

Yeah will do mate. I'll sort that later on buddy.

Moved to new section.

Oryt mate,

I have a set of coilys for my mk5 golf, tried to fit them myself but when it came to taking my original strut out, one of the bolts were rounded. How on earth am i to get it off?...safely..

Would you be able to overcome this and get my car scrubbing the deck?

bashing a smaller socket over it if it is rounded off that much or an impact gun?... where in durham are you based?
