Default Mechanic for homer/job in Aberdeen area wanted!

Anyone know someone local and good, would rather just leave the car at my house as it has no tax/mot at present until it's fixed.
Really getting F*cked off with it now, majorly.
Thanks,

Rog

Brake pipes and fuel lines under the car. Not wanting to do it myself, done enough already and I don't want to go buying a flaring kit etc....

Rog,
I could do it, but you'd have to wait for another week, as I'm floating above the sea in the Dutch sector right now.

I just fitted new brake lines for my m8's pug on Sunday night.

I think I have enough pipe for another car, but it's easily gotten if not.
Robin.

Aye that would be brilliant mate, I'm toying with the idea of taking the rear beam off and having it all blasted and painted, but I think i should just go ahead and get the brakes done. I have new brake hoses from the calipers, and also new brake pipes that run along the arms at the back, so it's just the bit that goes from the master cylinder to the rear ar of the car.

Cheers, thats good news!

Sorted.

I'll give you a shout when I return to solid ground. It shouldn't take long to do.

Will get them measured when I see them.

I'm now bobbing up and down (and round and round!) on a boat right now. It was only supposed to be for 3 days but the weather has not been good.........
Hopeing to start the job tomorrow, just as long the swell is down to 1m as apposed to 2.5m today!

you taking the piss?!?!

you seen the hassle i've had since making mine look pretty?

unless you want bad handling with poly bushes then you're kinda fucked. VERY little chance of getting old bushes out and they need to be for going in the oven.

No problems, its the nature of the game, especially when your on a boat, bloody hated most boats, especially the seawell!
