I am going to get a sports exhaust but was hoping there was someone in leicester that can do it,also as anybody ever used autotune formerly of hinckley but now at barwell.
One of my headrests is squashed would it be possible to have it unstitched and re-packed if so anybody got any phone numbers.

Can only help you on the AutoTune question
I used them for a few years for services and a few extra jobs, Mervin knows his stuff and I never had a problem with any of his work
Only stopped using him as Joospeed opened (and he's closer)

Yep, parked in the corner of the courtyard, left just before the photo shoot

It was part of Colin Blowers set-up when it was in Hinckley, they always had a few interesting things floating about the workshops, not sure if it's still linked now

He's usually very busy, and you could be faced with a long lead time, but he has just taken on a new mechanic so it could be worth a call

The summer meetings are very well attended, 40 cars isn't unusual
I don't make that many in the summer, due to other commitments/interests but even the winter meets are well attended

Has anyone got contact details for Autotune? I had a service done there last year at Hinckley and I need to find out how to get in touch with them for this year!

Hi,
I've used autotune for loads of work. Mervyn is a star, he knows his stuff and his pricing is very good, certainly in comparison to dealerships. The website is

bugger appears there website isn't working

bob if you ask about the exhaust let me know what they say, i'd be tempted into a particial sleaving job.. full on sleaving sounds fantastic, however i go camping quite a bit and some of the campsites are very quiet and i'm sure residents wouldn't be impressed! oh maybe they would!

i'd just be happy if the damn thing popped back like my sierra used to before the turbo. hopefully the precat mod might do the trick

They(autotune) fit a full stainless steel sports exhaust for £550,i think joospeed will do the alterations for £170+VAT that is what i am after.

Just a little note to let you know that Autotune has been experiencing some problems with its web hosting but it has now been sorted out and the website will be back up shortly. They have moved to new premises in Barwell - addy is on the website.
