If you are up that way and can't do it yourself then it's as good a place as any.

Or if your futher south TGM is getting good reviews haven't used them myself yet but am going down at end of month . They seem to be the two people talk about?

QFT.

If you make sure the cash goes in the mechanics pocket, it shouldn't be more than 20 notes.

I wouldn't trust kwik fit with a manifold, but a cat-back should be fine.

Swapping a manifold over isn't an especially quick job, especially if you need to swap the ARB at the same time to make sure the manifold doesn't knock. I can't see how any garage would make any kind of profit offering to swap a manifold and cat back for £20, time wise it's just too long. Cat back swapping for £20? Yeah that'll happen, but the manifold is a good hour alone.

i know the bloke, so the £20 goes right into his pocket. kwik fit dont see a penny of it, so they wouldnt need to make a profit. he closes up it at night and just opens the door for me to roll in. as i said i know the bloke, if this wasnt the case then it would be an entirely different matter.

any reason why mate? worked perfectly fine with me, although i suppose it may not always be the case with their mechanics.

I'd just like someone who knows the correct torquing order and so on for the cars. Kwik Fit spanner monkeys aren't generally too clued up, round this area at least:lol:
