Any BMW specialists in Midlands??

[Ed]

I'm toying with the idea of keeping my touring and slinging a 2.5 in it. But, the rear axle bushes will probably need doing before the next MOT (march), but the BMW specialist near me is fully booked til after Christmas
And after 15.12.07 I'm not gonna be living down here, but back in the Midlands

There is no way I'm attempting to do them myself again, and I cant take the car to a Non BMW specialist, as without the tool they tend to charge silly money. The place down here charge £40 each side plus the bush an VAT. My local non-BM place wanted £400 odd

So, anyone in the Midlands know a decent BMW specialist place?? Or anyone who's done them before fancy earning some cash between 15th and Christmas.

How much is the bush pressing tool ?

£420, and thats a Sealey, so it will probably break after the first use

If I had the money to gamble (bear in mind that tool is worth more than my car) then I'd buy one and offer a service to E30 owners and charge, but I dont With the tool it takes 40mins a side apparently. Without, I spent a weekend under the car with no joy, and gave up.

My brother always uses BM Werks in Finedon, Northants.

There is also a place in Northampton called Mtek, but I have no experience of them.

I've managed to get it sorted down here in the SW (hopefully) next week, but its always usefull to have details of specialists around
