A bit more than some, but all the lower quotes were from companies with no reviews of any sort on Google as far as I can see. Fingers crossed!
Reviews can be "manufactured" Checkatrade is a much better system IMO.
Past cars Mercedes B Class, S Class, E Class Estate, E Class Coupe, G Wagen, 260E interspersed with Peugeot 406 and Audi Coupe.

This company seems to advertise on Gumtree, from Richmond in South West London. I guess the 1.2 engine being unreliable they have made a trade of it. They have been dealing with them for 6 years.

I am in similar situation. Do you by any chance have an update on your repair? How it went?
