Default Cossie speicalist in the North West

Anyone know of a garage that knows their cossies around the stockport area? (Apart from Atlantic of course )

My Cossie as developed a rattle at the top end that sounds suspiciously like the Tappets.

Had the cam cover off tonight and the cam seems fine thank god

Is this the PWIG from Scoobynet?

The only place in the North West to go to IMO is Motorsport Developments in Blackpool.

Tappets have been known to start sticking....

Theres a garage called Autolink services in Cheadle Hulme (it behind a petrol station, think its BP). The guys that owns it races a n/a cosworth mk2 Escort which he built, he has also been restoring a BDA engined mk1 Escort RS. He's also built a N/A cosworth engine on throttle bodies, for another Westfield owner, which is supposed to have 260bhp ish (apparently it was trying to climb off the rollers at 250bhp)., built a 210bhp 2.0 zetec for another guy and set my front geometry. His work seems good so it may be worth speaking to him.

I could try and get the address and number if you want.

Might be worth going seeing Quasar engineering in Bredbury. They are a bunch of older chaps who are engine builders. No dobut they would have a listen to it for you.
