so i'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne and would like to pay somebody to do some work to my Noble (no time myself :-).
I have a trailer and tow car so can take the car to a distant garage so i'm not restricted by location but convenience is great.

List of jobs i would like to have done:

gearbox to gearbox man
LSD fitted
new clutch
turbo re-con
new exhaust
cam belt
valve springs


Can anybody recommend a garage or person to carry this out?

Mike Tuckwood??

guess how much anyone??


cheers all

James theres no cam belts on them, chain driven. Cant help with Garages although most can carry out general work its just a mondeo engine with some garret turbos thumbup Probably best to just pull bits off and post off to the individual specialists to get sorted.

haha, I actually asked a Noble dealer when i was buying mine if they were chain driven or belts..he said belts which later turned out to be quite a worry considering they are supposed experts on the car!
