I need to have my rear axle bushes sorted (fitted) and have tried the yellow pages but just wondering if any body can recommend any body in my area??? I have being quoted about £170 exc bushes, this sounds a bit steep to me but I have allway's fixed my car's myself. i am thinking of going for standard (eurocar parts bushes or similar) as I've being told powerflex one's can be an acquired taste?

I'll be moving to York in about a weeks time, so this is information I'd like to know too :nerd: I've got a trusted mechanic up here in Gateshead and feel scared at the prospect of having to find another one when I move down.

Hello mate.
The only garage i trust with my car is Rudgate auto services. A bloke called Michael owns it. Hes straight talking with good workmanship.
Hes in Tockwith on the industrial estate.
01423 358302
I usually mend stuff myself but when ive needed him hes always sorted me out, and quite reasonably.
Hes worth a try
Good luck
Mark :cool:

On the note of garages in or around the York area DO NOT USEthe independent VW guy in Thirsk. I changed the the buckets in the head of my Mk1 cab and all it wanted was for him to time it up for me as i had no timming light (bought 1 now) Left it with him went to pick it back up and not only had it used quarter of a tank of petrol, the MPG had gone down from 32 to 24 it was blowing out smoke( I think its head gasket) Thick bluey grey smoke, it had two nice deep scratches on the n/s wing.
WEIRD
Anyway from a simple twist of the dizzy i asked him to do ive now got to replace head gasket, paint front wing then kick him in the nuts!!!!!!!!
So be warned :angry:
Car should be back on the road soon, but bourght VR6 in the meantime, as other Golf Cab is looking like a hen house, must start work on that too :undecided:
But as i said earlier try Rudgate in Tockwith
:smiley:Mark
