Urgent!! Mini specialist/mechanic - south east

[Kh22]

CRAWLEY,HORLEY,REDHILL area?????

I'm possibly looking for someone who would be willing do do some work on my Mini Cooper S, 52 reg...
I've been let down for pretty much 7 months and for this time have been carless!! Im giving current mechanic a few more days to get arse into gear before I sack him off!!
What's left to do is:
- fit new fan (already bought)
- change pulley on supercharger apparently proving difficult (already bought)
- adjust timing chain

If there is anyone interested in finishing my mini please please contact me!!!

Sussex Road & Race in Littlehampton are great if you can travel,regarded one of the best Minin independents, usually really busy tho so probably wouldn't be able to do it straight away if that's what you need.

You've allowed this to drag on for 7 months? This is an day's work for ANY mechanic. The only thing a specialist will have over a normal mechanic is the bespoke pulley puller used to get the old pulley off.

Sussex Road and Race are meant to be good, but with all good specialists, I have no doubt they'll be booking weeks in advance.

You may (should hopefully) have got this sorted by now. Camberley is a fair old hack from most of E Sussex. I live at the northern extreme of E Sussex. Not sure where you are? I have a 2011 Volvo C30 D2 SE Lux (economical, no VED, mapped, unusual, great interior, massive spec) and a 2005 R53 Cooper S (expensive to run, common as muck, interior 'adequate', supercharger, yeah, for when I need a blast)..

Here are the ones I have found and have or will use:
Charlwood Automotive, Charlwood, near Gatwick - Volvo and Mini Specialists (good for me!!). .
Munich Legends, Chelwood Gate. - Expensive but huge reputation for Beemers.
Walkers Autotech, Wisborough Green. - Bit of a trek for me but very knowledgeable.
Mini Motorsport, Shoreham by Sea - Don't know much about them.
BM Sport, Bexleyheath - As above.
