As the topic suggests, I'm a new'ish owner and it's nearing that time so I need to decide where to take it. There are a few little misc. things that I would like looking at while they are at it so VX experience would be a huge plus. Does anybody from the South-East have any advice or reccomendation as to where is good/they take theirs? Cheers! D.

Are you close enough to Guildford? Back on Track are based there and work on Lotus's an Vx's all day long. Reasonabley priced too.

Bit of a trek from here but sounds like it would be worth it, thanks guys. Was looking for you fiveoclock, knew one of the forum vets had a BoT sig; do you work for them?

The other option would be Plans Motorsport. I know some people aren't huge fans but I have had a few bits done there and have never had a problem. Location can be slightly easier depending where you are but be warned it is a fair distance from anywhere. Although I think they would run you into Guildford if you asked nicely

Maidstone Sports Cars are worth a look as well.

Great guys and they sorted loads of people out with ABS activation after the recent group buy.

I've had good experiance from both Back on Track and PlanMotorsport - but found on balance PlanMotorSport were better - they did a very thourough job of inspecting my car when it first came in and found some issues that needed to be resolved....and they do loan cars which I really needed.

What needs doing, as depending on the job, you may not always need a Lotus/vx specialist. Martin s West Sussex
