I have just moved to Milton Keynes area and while I can do some maintenance, there's stuff I need help with eg I think one of my webbers is leaking air and I have gone to the limit of my tools and knowledge. Anyone suggest how to find a local competent mechanic to help.
I love blatting and tinkering but with a dry sump set up and no pit in the garage an oil change is not on the cards. Any ideas please

Have a look on the net and see if there is a local Kitcar club you can join. I'm sure the owners would be able to recommend someone.

As far as not having a pit in the garage... I just made up four large blocks of wood from pieces of 6x2 screwed together. I jack up the car, put the blocks under the wheels (one block has wedges to stop the wheel rolling off) and I can get access safely under the car while it is level and stable to do gearbox/engine oil and grease the prop etc.
