Hi I'm about to buy my first VX220 turbo and conscious I need to find a good specialist to look after it. After Googling I've seen there are some good ones in Norfolk, Derbyshire etc but nothing within an hour of me (Twickenham). Can anyone recommend a good specialist in Surrey, Middlesex or SW London? Thanks! Andy

I've used Plans motorsport and always been extremely happy with their service and quality of work.

I spoke to the guy at PLANS before I got the car and he seemed a little snooty , maybe as I don't have loads of money and a expensive car , when you say take jez some jaffas do they have to be McVity or do other brands work as well

Vx owners normally bring him non branded ones

Thank you all very much 😊

In all honesty unless you have absolutely no mechanical skills whatsoever you're better off working on the VX yourself. I've learnt a huge amount and know every single part of the car has been done properly. 

 

I know it's not for everyone but they're very enjoyable and fun to work on, there are a few very helpful people on this forum and guides to do nearly every job.

Every time I have approached my VX with a spanner...... a nut has rounded or a rivnut has failed and other such events !

 

If its a daily driver id give it to someone who knows 

if its a toy and you have the storage space then give it a go 

there are so many good people on here who will offer advice or come and assist you if you get stuck.

 

I wish I had the confidence 

even when I have taken the car to the workshop and asked if i could do the work the guys laugh but let me play and then they come to the rescue 

Fitting the Fez heater was a drama at one point I had screen wash constantly squirting out !

Thank heavens for professionals

FWIW.. another BoT fanboy here..

Been to Plans Performance once, would never go back... BoT a few times now they are the only garage I go to now. If you time it right they'll have a Ferrari in

F40 if you're really lucky!

Back on track is your best bet. Only garage I use for mine with the exception of Courtney Sport once

 

Yes and seen the F40 in there a few times, such a beauty
