Hi all

I have just popped round to Top Gear in Wolverhampton and found it all shut up. Really gutted. He did my head gasket on my Elise S1 and did a fantastic job. Does anyone know where I can get some work done as need my rear brake pipes replacing which requires the petrol tank removal so not a job I want to do myself. I am in Shropshire but go over to Derby regularly. Any help would be great.

Thanks 

Glyn

You could try DRM Motorsport in Kidderminster. Kevin and Dan are great guys with loads of race prep and build experience in everything from Elise’s to BTCC. I’ve used them for all my Elise work for 10years+ and very happy too!

If in North Shropshire there’s Blink Motorsport in Winsford. I’ve used them together with TG but as you’ve found out, Martin has ‘retired’ from his garage although I did read that he does mobile mechanic work locally. 
As you travel to Derby, I’m sure others will soon be on to recommend PJS or Unit4.

Hi Glyn,

Removal of the petrol tank is not as bad as you may think, I had to do the same with my S1 to replace the brake pipes, take a look at this TechWicki -
