My friend needs his roof motor replaced. He has an independant warranty.... Now sure how good theyll be but can anyone recomend a place to get it done in hamilton or central scotland area

Thanks
 
It may not need replaced. Just revived and relocated. Plenty posts about it on here.
 
The nearest to you would be Durham Dave, but that would be a good couple of hours drive , I'm not aware of anyone further north,

Be aware the warranty probably won't cover it ,as suggested below the motor may be a candidate for reviving BUT at the same time it is sensible to relocate the motor into the boot at the same time .The factory fitting suspends the motor in an ineffective casing hanging in the nearside wheel arch in front of wheel ,when the drain hole gets blocked the cavity fills with water :? ..............
Interesting to see if an Indy will do the relocation a Dealer certainly would not but it is the only long term solution
Every one doing them here is I believe doing as a sideline ,the guy who did mine doubles as a Dealer senior technician in real life .
The price is generally so good several forum members have travelled stayed overnight and still saved hundreds
So Durham Dave may be the best offering by far
 
There is classic restorations Scotland in Alyth -who are very good actually -work on high end Rolls ,Bentleys and Jags etc -Phone: 01828 633293-its the potty posh of Perthshire who take their classic cars there .
But from memory their labour rate is £70 per hour plus VAT -and as they are always busy so nothing happens happens quick -at least that was my experience -Neil the head mechanic is the man to speak to . The sec there used to work on my unit in Ninewells .
 
Amazingly found this

Dave can do your service and organise your mot as well as stamp your service book for you.His son Corey is now a fully qualified MOT tester at a local garage.
Most of my friends get their services done by Dave as he does such a good job at a very good rate.Give him a ring 07864860960.

It will take about 2hrs down the A68 from Edinburgh to Tow Law where Daves workshop is.I would think you will enjoy the drive from yours there and back in a day as that road is 60mph most of the way but watch for the odd speed camera.
