Competent Mechanic/diyer In Surrey Area?

[dj0nes]

Hey guys,

Forgive me if this breaks the rules of the forum I did check the terms and conditions and nothing advising against this sort of post..

I am based in Kingston Upon Thames (Just outside of Surrey) and would like to know if anyone in the local area fancies helping me fit new pads, discs and overhaul the braking system on my car, bleed it and sort our a sticky caliper.

Of course I will make it worth your while in terms of beer tokens ;)

If anyones interested please drop me a PM, I don't mind traveling if need be.

Depends how far you want to travel? I am in Basingstoke and don't mind helping.

Hey, if your going to travel up, give me a shout and, if I'm not busy, I'll come down and meet you somewhere in Basingstoke and then we could convoy up together and make it a mini fix it meet!!!

I'm always up for offering a hand..

Thanks

Mike

I'd love to help but it's a little too far to come,I will however donate a useful tool which may come in handy for the job!!!

Hey mate,

Thanks for your hospitality today, it was nice to meet you! At least now you know about the OBDII port, as do I :)

Thanks

Mike

[TigerFish]

Yeah, good to meet you mate and handy to find out the odbII reader won't work :(

Shame mr dj0nes didn't show up so no car to work on. Not much we could do other than drink tea and natter.

[steve2006]

So the guy who asked for the help initially didn't show up?

How many "Beer Tokens" did you ask him for? lol

[mike213735]

Steve,

That's right, he didn't show :(

Still, gave me the opportunity to meet TigerFish and take my LS for a run down the A33 :)

Mike

[TigerFish]

Yeah, odd isn't it. I told him I didn't want anything for doing the work. Hopefully nothing serious has happened to the fella. It was good to meet another fellow LOC'er though :)

[mike213735]

Yeah, and I found soemone to give me a hand to replace my front lower balljoint when I get round to doing it :)

Mike

Mike

Give me a shout when you are doing it and I will come up as well :) just done the balljoints on mine ;)

Andy

[steve2006]

When I did my lower ball joints I managed to modify my "turn the bolt " type splitter because the fork wouldn't fit around the stem of the ball joint but it must have weakened it because it broke,had to also modify a hammer in type but it did the job.

The hammer worked fine without modification though!

Andy,

Will do mate.

How much are they each from the dealer...In fact, how much for both....in for penny and all that :)

Thanks

Mike

[TigerFish]

Yeah, I'll give you a hand mate.

Cool, will get my spanners sorted out :)

Can do a pair of balljoints to you for £139.68 all in ;)

Andy

[ACLex]

Yeah, I'll give you a hand mate.

OK, I'll bring the biscuits ;)

Andy

[mike213735]

hmmmm,

What do you reckon THESE are like?

Worth a shot as they are only £52 per pair?

Thanks

Mike

I've used that guy for quite a few GS parts, no complaints so far.

Look good, only thing I dont like about them is the lack of location bush so hopefully the bolt holes are smaller.

Andy

[mike213735]

OK,thanks guys....

Once I've sold this Explorer, I'll give you both a shout and we'll have to arrange something.

Thanks

Mike

I looked at the LS ones on eBay at the same price but wasn't sure of the quality so went OEM from Lexus Derby at £120.00 the pair all in.

That was a good price but how long ago was it?

Andy

[mike213735]

Andy / Rick,

This hasn't gone away :)

I took a deposit on the Explorer tonight, so it may be worth getting your tools clean and ready to roll.
