Was going to leave a review on Facebook, but I've stopped (or never really started) using it.

So, just a quick thanks to Mike for all the help with my lights, coding and key swap :thumbsup:

Been to see Mike at the Z shed today..
I was very pleased last year when Mike relocated my roof motor to the boot.

This year I wanted to have the Vanos refurbed and fresh gearbox and diff oil.

I thought at 55k miles my car was driving superbly and the refurb was for prevention rather than cure.
How wrong was I , they certainly did need doing even though I hadn't noticed any drop in performance
I suppose you get used to what you've got.

Well what a difference, the car now just wants to get up and go it picks up instantly in any gear I just can't believe what a difference this has made to my car.
As well as a smoother gear change due to fresh oil, my cars transformed and is a joy to drive.

Mike is a very hard working methodical guy, very patient and doesn't mind if your looking over his shoulder while he's working on the car.

172 Mile roof down round trip, loved it going out fantastic coming back, cheers Mike.

Anyone thinking of having the Vanos refurbed do it you'd be very pleased with the results.

10/10 Mike
Highly recommended .

Today I got my paj back and omg the midrange grunt is incredible didn’t realise how much power is lost with a crap vanos wow it goes like a train now and with a list as long as you’re arm replaced by mike it feels like a new car so happy 😁 at a fraction of the price of bmw or Indy (who I would not trust) what’s not good all I can really say is mike your a genius THANKS

I will soon be offering a drive in/drive out alloy wheel exchange service.

Basically, I will have a stock of sets of the most popular wheels, 107, 108, MV2 etc. These will have been professionally refurbished at Tillings Wheels, and in the case of 108's, they will have been split by myself prior to being done and they will have been properly masked before powder coating and reassembled by me.

You will be able to turn up and have your own tyres removed and fitted to a fresh set of wheels, balanced and refitted whilst you wait.

Hopefully, I will also be able to offer full Hunter alignment to your chosen spec soon too..

Mike

My new GENUINE BMW ICOM interface has just landed, enabling me to now have access to INPA "expert" mode, something even BMW main dealers don't have as they are not allowed to reprogram used modules, but now I can. This means massive savings on things like EWS, DSP, DME and all the other expensive units..

The alloy exchange service is a great idea! It's an easy cosmetic upgrade and some people do get tired of the same look after a while. Good thinking Mike!
