To get it back on the road would make is day. he thinks it may be the jets? Any advice would be gratefully appreciat

ed. Cheers.

Fuzzy, John Muir is still trading but gave up the garage (MV Turbos) to build houses on. Still on the go and his details can be found on the interweb under MV Turbos. He uses the garage along the road from my mates own garage in Dunfermline town centre.

I thought jock maxwell was more into the older stuff - mainly pintos & stockcar racing engines/prep. etc

John Muir,lol put the car in for a new exhaust, nuts off studs, way too much hassle. Came back with half the threads for the exhaust manifold into the head stripped. Long time ago but surprised nobodies ended the sarky c-nts existence before now.
RJM, total waste of time after Derek wasn't there, had the cheek to tell me they were only doing me a favour as they didn't work on this old sh-t anymore, thank christ, had the car for 3 months, came back and started twice,plugs oiling up, fuel distributor knackered, no voltage to the auxilliary air valve, brake pipes done by a monkey, waste gate adj. nut hard on the stops at the wrong end, exhaust stud on turbo stripped, wouldn't trust them to change my oil.
Falkland Performance, lol I hope they are all dead!
AVA, I don't want to know the output, just want it tuned, minutes later, pedal to floor with a shitty wee fan in front, two weeks later head gasket went.
Ever gets finished going to Stuart in Stirling who looks after my mates Porsche, fingers crossed!
