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 |
Is Oxford too far?
|
What sort of work mate? And what sort of location?
|
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. |
I can 2nd Jonnie's work. He fitted a 1.6 gearbox to my 1.9 2 years ago and always has parts available at cheap prices :thumb:

quicker acceleration (spelling) the 1.6's run different ratios

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 :D
BTW, Jonnie also sorted out a Mi box for a mate at a good price as well :thumb: |
I was also going to say Jonnie. :notworthy
|
his ears will be burning with all this praise :D

Oxford or Southampton are both fine so can try both out :thumb:. 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 :confused: . 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 |
