keybaud Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I emailed Northampton motorsport about some work I'd like done on my Caterham, as they worked on the car when the previous owner had it and know its quirks. This isn't a complaint about the business, as I realise that they are often very busy, but I am looking at what other options I have to get the work done by the 11th May. I found Neil Garner's details on the members discount, whilst looking for the Halford's voucher details, and they are half the distance from me. There is also Millwood's, who are slightly closer still. Are there any other companies in the West Midlands that I should consider? The work is as follows: 1. Fix cylinder head or head gasket (won't know problem until head is removed). 2. Upgrade C20XE from Weber 48s to fuel injection. 3. Fit a fuel cap (emptying the boot to fill up is a pain) and possibly replace 18 year old bag tank and a new fuel injection tank for 2. Chewie, I know you think I ought to do the work myself, but I don't have the time (yes, it's a lousy excuse).

keybaud Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Typical, I got an email from Troy at Northampton Motorsport whilst I was writing the above post. Troy is still my preferred option, but I'd still like to know anyone more local that I could use for simpler problems in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingars Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So where abouts in the West Mids are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingars Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nigel Keats at Cougar Engineering gets (with one noteable exception) good reviews from those people on here who have used him. Have a search in the Tech Talk archive. I haven't used him yet, but it is on my "to do" list to get him to check over my suspension setup. Cougar Engineering The Hamlet Church Rd Bradley Green Redditch Worcestershire B96 6RN 01527 821675 He certainly works on K series and Xflows - don't know about boat anchors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the Plumber Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nigel Keats gets my vote, used him on my K series when the head gasket needed changing, amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
