Does anyone know of a trustworthy Eunos specialist in Leeds or surrounding area??
I don't want to go to the main dealer as I want someone who understands and has a passion for the car.

Hi Ian, spoke to you the other day at CITP...

Other than MX5City, which you already know of, im not so sure of anywhere local. If you find somewhere then be sure to let us know!

What is it that you need doing?

Hi! Snotrag? Yeh it was good on Sunday, one of the best.
I'm after an MOT, but a little worried about my decat pipe and slight weeping on the shox. It did pass last year with the weeping, and they've not got any worse.
MX5 CITY dealt with a lot of work, but generally I was not that impressed with their service. They turn out cars well, when selling; but I would not go back for anything else.
My car was filthy when they finished with it, inside and out.

It's a pre 1991, therefore the cat should not be an issue.

I found JCT a bit snotty when I took it down for a check a few months ago. Probably because its an old vehicle.
( I did enjoy the chat with you and my sons and nice that you've joined jdmpassion)

If you shocks are weeping, replace them!

Finding a garage that will pass the car with a decat pipe is fair enough, but asking it to pass an MOT with weeping shocks it not right IMO. Especially if you knew about it last year.

Last thing we want is un-road-worthy cars on the road.

Sorry if you feel I am been harsh, but that is my view.
