Excellent news, something I am thinking of doing to mine over this winter. Do you mind sharing how much it cost to have the geo sorted at TGM?

If it’s just the geo, as in all your bolts are free to move as required, I’d have a guess at around £100.

After that, it really depends how much is seized. Most of my suspension needed to be removed using a blowtorch and sledgehammer. It was properly set solid. Given that this work can take in the region of 10-12hrs, it’s not cheap. Bits will be replaced as required, but I’d budget in the region of £1-1.2k certainly.

Add on to that a set of new Bilsteins, a service, some work on the rear brakes which were beginning to bind, and the bill was large, but certainly not unexpected. Tom at GM phoned me several times along the way keeping me updated with what was happening etc.

To me, the cost was worth it. I love the car, will be keeping it for a good while yet, and can’t think of what could currently replace it.

If you’re unsure, ring them (or pop in if you’re close...). They’re really nice guys, up front, and will do as little or as much on the car as you ask them to - they certainly know what they’re doing as well. They’re about an hour’s drive from me, but for anything more than an MOT and an oil change, I’d go back.
