Hi there!

I have bought my Chimaera last summer which was a Cat C write off (no idea why!?) and had it transported to my home country Lithuania for body repairs. So the body is like new now and paint job is done in top quality..oh and I also put the mark 3 headlights for a price that can not be beaten in UK (under £1.3k !!!) Unfortunately the works took a month longer than expected..so the non working speedo could not be repaired in time due to my mechanics being unable to find the fault.. Any ideas where could I do this repair in UK around Berkshire?

Also I have driven back from Kiel, Germany to Reading, UK and the car worked like a Swiss clock! It did not miss a beat! Had reached 125mph on the autobahn without a problem and did a cruise at around 70mph with only 3 stops at the fuel stations. What a bargain and a perfect car I have got for myself!

Now I just wish the perfect weather would come back!!

I have added a pic of the front which was fixed. They did a all-over paint job afterwards. Check my "garage".

If the speedo is stuck on a 999 number e.g. 39,999 then its probably going to need to be sent away for repair. Speedy cables do them http://www.speedycables.com/ but speedy they are not. I had mine back in about 2 weeks but I hear that most people wait 6-8 weeks.

Ha! It was not only the conversion, but a proper car front side repair after some damage and all over paint job. I was quoted for £2500-5000 in the UK
