Default Where would you go?

Hi all,

I need some advice please. I live in SE london and need some things doing to my classic.

Short term: rear diff and gear box oil (engine done already), and some new tyres (will take recomendations but looking to spend <£100 per tyre.

Long term: Turbo back exhaust, fuel pump and remap.

Are there any recomendations from personal experience, anyone used anyone in London who they were pleased with. I'm willing to travel further for the mods but would like to find somewhere local for the servicing etc..

Thanks

John

Thanks buddy, had them come up on google but the personal recommendation is what I really wanted. Is Neil the guy who does all the work or should I ask especially?

thanks for the help gents. A new problem reared it's ugly head, my insurance company wont cover a remap. Who do you guys use? It took me ages to find "reasonable" cover, i'm 27 so not a young driver but would like a company that can accomadate me.

Thanks gents.

Just gave Aplan a ring and they will see what they can do for me tomorrow, Donna from Thatcham was v.helpful.

Thanks for the info, will look into using Richard when I get around to organising myself, high wycombe might prove a bridge too far for general servicing but very grateful for the advice and will look him up when i'm keen to do something more interesting with my wheels.
