If you're in Swansea you can't be more than an hour and a half from Interpro (they still about ?) Just over the other side of the bridge in Bristol IIRC.

Dewitts in Gorseinon used to be good, but I think they only sell parts now, but there is another rally shop in their old workshops round the corner that should be able to help you, cannot remember the name though.

they are on the big industrial estate just off the main road through Gorseinon

Dewitts are on the left halfway down and their old workshop is further down - Im sure if you ask in Dewitts they can point you in the right direction

Westec im guessing. fucking cowboys.

Did some work on a mates car and because they wanted to shut shop early, left the car outside with the keys in the exhaust tip. Didnt even tell him they wanted to close early.

Grant also ripped me off for £££, proper cunt.
