Flagpole Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I live in Richmond, Surrey and am trying to locate a mechanic/garage that I can take my Westy to. I'm no expert when under the bonnet and would like someone to have a look with the view to tweaking it to enhance performace/traction etc or advising me on what can be done. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Go to Mercury Engineering at Strawberry Hill (on Hampton Road by the river)...two brothers, top blokes, I can't recall their names....it's a long time since I lived in Richmond. They used to do alot of rallying and sprinting. The garage is also a Weber approved agents they did all the work on my escort and 205 sprint cars in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Mr Pole..I used to live in the Richmond area at The Alberts then Twickenham Green and finally at Ham...but I moved to Norfolk about thirteen years ago I still miss having a pint of Stella at the White Swan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagpole Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 All the great pubs are still there mate. Advice for anyone not familiar to the area: Don't park your Westy near the river as the tide does rise a lot. It rose so much recently, I saw a brand new Audi floating past the Slug and Lettuce in the Thames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracoro Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 What engine have you got? If a vauxhall lump, SBD motorsports near Tolworth/A3 junction will be worth the trip if you need engine tuning etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
