these guys spent alot of time and effort in helping me get the 2.0l conversion done, always willing to give advice and sold me parts cheap, they seem like a nice enough bunch of guys in there
spent ages sorting my motor out and charged me next to nothing, will defo use again.
i know some ppl aint to happy with them but i am

I've used them for years on a number of my cars and never had a bad word to say about them.

The owner, Matt, is very straight to the point and doesn't mince his words....some people can't handle that and prefer the softly softly approach.

Whereabouts in basingstoke are these guys and do they have a website?  Also, what services do they offer is it just mechanical and if they do engine conversions are they happy to just deal with services?  Looking for somwehere trustworthy and reliable to take mine, won't go to main dealers and my last garage was in Andover which is a nightmare if I have to leave the car there!

You from Basingstoke too then?  I have seen a few GTi's bombing it about the place, some look pretty well modded others look like they're probably just someone's mode of transport and nothing more!

I may well give Designadub a try as I need to get the timing sorted out, it's over fuelling, so would rather take it somewhere that knows the cars and not chance it with somewhere like Halfords or National Autocentres.  Those places give me the creeps anyway 

What's your car look like, wonder if I've ever seen it about.

Ta for that.

Makes interesting reading, and I guess would make me more aware.  However, as a couple of guys have had no problems with them it may be worth taking it along for something straightforward like a service and see how that goes and make up my own mind from that.

It's a tough call when some say they are good and others slate them, you don't know which way to go!  Cheers for making me aware though, appreciated.
