Default Pug 205 Mi16

Any of you 205 Mi16 owners know of any good mechanics/specialists in the South East?

Want to have a little work done and all the specialists seem to be up north, midlands or west country .

Cheers
Ross

Try this bloke:

Welcome to Jonnie Wigmore

He did the conversion on my old 205 gti mi16 twin carbs etc. Think he's arounf the Bicester-Oxford area. Quite cheap and he knows his stuff.

You'll find him on 205GTIDrivers.com jonnie205 or you can contact through his homepage

One of the best 205 forums.

Why would you want a 1.6 box in a 1.9?

Indeed, even the 1.9 box in mine with 200 break is way too long, i'll be fitting a shorter Mi box later next year, hopefully with a Quaife as well, providing I still have the car then

rossi, what sort of work you after, not fancy DIYing it?

1.6 box is shorter in 1st 3 or 4 gears iirc so it does help the acceleration

BTW, Jonnie also sorted out a Mi box for a mate at a good price as well

Cheers chaps,

Oxford or Southampton are both fine so can try both out . SE London, South Essex or North Kent would be better though.

I would post on 205gtidrivers or one of the other pug forums but I can't access them at work through our firewall for some reason... Scoobynet is okay though .

Work wise, I usually have a full car service/check/cambelt when I buy a car. Usually go main agents or a specialist and seeing as the 205 has a few modifications, I don't think the main agents would have a clue. Haven't got round to doing it yet and would like to before the harsh weather kicks in.

Also have a squeak coming from one of the belts too, which I would like checked out.

All the best
Ross
