Hi guys,

My car is in need of some remedial work. I have a feeling my clutch is on the way out as it's sometimes a bastard to get in gear, especially when the car is hot and stationary. I am also getting some pinking under hard acceleration in 3rd/4th (Racing Green have said it's probably the Cam).

Anyway, looking to do a phone around for some prices and wondered if anyone can recommend any specialists in the south (I live near Reading)?

Cheers,
Graham

Big thumbs up for Austec from me.

Had problems with a new one fitted to mine, Austec sorted it straight away and car's never been better!

I have just used Jamie at Castle engines for a cam in my Griff and he was excellent IMHO.

Thanks guys, I've given David Batty a call as he's probably the most local to me and have read many a good report on here about him. Following a brief chat he's suggested I pop down there so he can have a drive and see what he thinks.

Thanks for your help, I'll let you know the verdicts, fingers crossed it's not too expensive!

Cheers,
Graham
