    Technically you can but most coppers would probably think you was taking the piss and then go over your car like it was full of coke

    I've used these guys for my former Xantia and current Primera, and they are nice chaps and chapesses.

    K J's Motor Engineers
    9B Two Rivers Industrial Estate
    Station Lane
    Witney, OX28 4BH

    I haven't put a 200 through them so I don't know if they're clued up about the 200 (e.g. S13 & Cat situation) but I'd still recommend them.

    Hmmm... I use MK MOT in Kiln Farm as recommended to me a while back by Wolverine when I needed some inner sill welding doing. They are a friendly bunch. If you mean Friendly as in lenient though, I'm not so sure

    They welded up my outer sill last August and did a good and reasonable costing job. I can't see myself going anywhere else yet and I'm glad I've finally found a garage I can trust. This info might be useful for someone in the future, but probably not you this year

    Maybe get someone to tralier it to Wales. Still might work out sheaper if you have a lot of "concerns" lol

    He works for coke, ofcourse his car will be full of it!

    On a serious note - doesn't that unit 18 place do MOT's? I know there's a place GT4_BAZ always used to go to, I'll get the details for you....
