Garages westmids to look at my 182

[KarKiller]

Can anyone point me in the direction of any garages in the west midlands (near wolves, walsall, willenhall etc) that will look at this problem? It's been in and out of reno and last time they didn't even open the bonnet! Has anyone had any experiences of getting someone else to find a problem and then getting it fixed by reno under warrenty?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm in solihull, what's wrong with it?

Hi Mate, problem is here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146554.

Basically performing like sh*t, feels really slow to accerate. Taken it to reno a couple of times but they say it's fine or I should try changing petrol.

Cheers.

 

[Fred@BTM]

bring it over if you want, i don't mind having a look at it

Nicks in Appelby Magma, not Swad. Near enough though. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Cheers mate, I'll give them a ring, why not.

Anyone got any experience of fixing stuff like this under warranty? For example if Nick @ hillpower finds the problem, will reno fix it? The problems seem to be narrowed down to a problem with the cat or an mechanical engine problem.

Cheers.

I was due to take my car over to Nick @ hillpower for a rolling road test but unfortunatly he isn't too well at the moment. Does anyone have any other recommendations as I'd really like to get my car tested, preferably by someone who can diagnose any problems. Cheers!

 

[KarKiller]

Anyone have any suggestions please? Ta.

 

[KarKiller]

Matty, I would love Nick to look at it, he gets a lot of respect on here and he's been really helpfull over the phone. He's not sure when he will be back to work though so I was hoping there might be someone else.
