Anyone know of Renault 5 Turbo 2 specialist in kent area?

[1john]

Need any info on renault 5 T2 specialists in kent?.
My car has been off the road for some time now and fuel has gone to syrup so needs to be flushed out and other bits need doing.Tried to get to the tanks myself but bar stripping the whole nside out, nigh impossible.
I have used JP before but he is in Hereford and not exactly cheap...I also used Neil Brighton who had the replica diac renault and lived off the north circ but have lost touch with hm...does anyone know where he is or contact number?
Any info would be great...email me if you have any.

Regards
John

Is Paul sage an R5 Tuner/Business? or 'a mate of a mate' kinda guy?

Im asking as the other guys i mentioned are customers of mine, and im just looking for a little potential business

[1john]

Yes he is a renault specialist and has been in the business for 30 odd years.
Have you got your own business in car restoration and recommisioning?

[72twink]

Only just had a chance to pop back but it looks like you've already tracked him down

No, supply and manufacture of performance parts.

You could try Orchard View Classics in Yalding. Not exactly a specialist, but he used to have a GTA Turbo, so he's Renault-savvy. Ask for Chris. Nice straightfoward bloke

Yes thanks 72twink and eggsbenedict.The power of the internet sufficed yet again.
Paul seemed really knowledgable but it all depends on money really.I know it is removal of the interior which is not too bad,but will have to find out if i can et to the tanks easily...ie not cutting half of the floor away??

Thanks again

Bob @ CGB is highly recommended for tech advise and parts, he has a Turbo 2 himself. I have specialised in 5 Turbos for years and I'm in Essex, pm me.

[barchetta_boy]

Would love to see pics... if you decide you'd rather sell her, PM me. Always wanted one of these.

Hi again...Phil I tried to upload pics on site and message came up saying the file was too big????...only accepts files up to 2mb and advised to resize.Now as you know ...cars yes,....phones no, so didn't know how to resize on an iphone!!.
Thanks to everyone for there advice and I will get round to messaging them.One other thing, I really appreciate the offers to sell but this baby has been with me since 1996 and you know what, sad as it is, the car has really become a part of my life and i have wrestled with my conscience for 2 years now whether to part with the car and decided I just can't. I have been asked by 3 people lately to sell and I'm sure I would regret it if I did and besides where would I get another?.
Will try and upload if I can work out this damn phone
