Tracey,

if you ring them, could you ask for a price for reconditioning the following:

-T3
-T23

Thanks

doug - your a star too. Vince was a very nice guy and I will probably go with them once the turbo is off the car so thanks

frog - sorry I fully intended asking about the 2 turbos but totally forgot!!!

Give vince a call though cos he seems like a top bloke

Tis ok Tracey, I did call them myself in the end

He asked if I was a trader as I called for two

So I told him, no, I have three cars, all of which have a turbo, and two are on the blink

Keen prices compared to others though, and courier postage is included too
