Fault diagnosis: Forza West or Clayton Cars

[carreauchompeur]

Folks,

I need some diagnosis on my E36 M3. No fault codes, but a bit lacking in power and I think either the VANOS seals need redoing or it's the MAF sensor, or indeed something completely different.

Anyone with experience of the above 2 places? I don't want them just to plug it in, find no codes and then charge me anyway. It needs a bit of knowledge of old beemers!

Cheers

Personally, my vote would go to FW

Stu knows his onions

I have had work done by Stu at Forza West, great guy, he certainly knows his stuff and very reasonable prices:-) i would highly recommend Forza.
As for Clayton cars i can’t comment as never used them.

I'd recommend James Redish at Redish Automotive in Bristol.

See www.redishautomotive.co.uk. Some great feedback on his knowledge of M3s

Used him recently and very happy with the service I received.

My mate works for clayton. They also look after my 330.
I've heard very good things about forza, just a bit of a trek.

Forza, every time.

Tiv owners tend to be a fickle bunch, and Stu's place is usually full of them! Speaks volumes

Forza have been brilliant for me whenever called upon across both BMW's I have owned.

Did a couple jobs on the old Z4 and do all the stuff on the current Z4M.

Great guy Stu. Apparently looking to open a second location in Almondsbury last I spoke to him, so fingers crossed for that.. Save me a bridge toll each time!

Noted all, many thanks- Forza it is.
