I've had him recommended to me a number of times before, but not used him yet. Has excellent reviews on here

Yep, that's the bloke.

Took around £200 off me for doing a rear wheel bearing that took 4/5 hours to get off inc parts aswell as some other minor bits and bobs! Shame some idiot then went and hit the car after I got the work done.

I think he's pretty good value for the work he does.

My last attempt was fitting a scorpion back box myself 6 months ago..it all went wrong and took over two days to get it on right.Since then i've hardly touched the car!

Turning 40?
I am late 50's

and this is my current project...

and....

Pacerpete made a good point regarding gearbox mounts etc., this would be an ideal oppotunity to fit a short shift and re-new all the gear linkage bushes,get that 'new car shift' feeling to go with the new clutch...

I look to my dad as an example,he's now 86 and still driving a 4 pot E46,was playing with his cars until almost 80 and selling/fitting burgular alarms to earn his pocket money!

I'm going to have serious ball-ache next week trying to fit the S50b32 box to the iS as I broke the 240 box output shaft and haven't got a trailer at the moment to bring the car to my mates lift

Take the prop off and tow it??

Prop is off already but I couldn't be bothered towing it a half hour to an hours journey....

Although, the wieght of the box may dictate otherwise
