    adjust torsion bar to match and align wheels

    and depending on the funds situation and how mot goes possible uprating of clutch

    Not really that far, a couple of motorways, a dual carriageway here or there and you'll be on my door step

    Re: MOT time need help with recommendations for good garages

    Hey all thats possible. Only real headache is the torsion bar might be an idea to start spraying wd40 inside the cap and that general area.
    We dont do MOT's ourselfs but we do about 2 a day and take them to a local garage were very friendly with. If you want to give us a ring were open tomorrow usual times. the number is 0151 339 2100. Not much on my profile at the moment so basically my dad was an rte(renault technical expert) for 8-9 years and worked with renault for about 20 years, we're renault specialists and my uncle is the main MOT tester for renault liverpool.

    For MOT's I use either Dave Campbell Auto's in Eastham or Montador Motor Engineers in Birkenhead. For general work try Tony/Tony's dad in Neston or give myself a shout....

If you wanna give us a ring tommorrow on 0151 339 2100 we can maybe sort out some idea of the price and when you want it done. The garage name is Motech You'l either get through to me (Tony) or my dad (Andrew)
