Any help appreciated!!!

Ask on here www.pandsmoc.com someone on there should know.
I'm in Southampton so obviously don't venture into pompey often.

theres a place in selsey nr bognor regis called the octagon garage, find em on yell.com, who claim to be a mini+classic car specialist, i almost took my mini there once to sort the clutch but did it myself in the end!

You should venture up the M27 to Southampyon where we have many mini friendly garages... just no premiership team!

Seriously though, I got my tracking sorted at a great little garage behind the Meridian studios and there is a Supertracker centre in Woolston.

I was down there today, and parked next to a PandSMoc mini, huge sticker on the window and even bigger dent in the boot... anyone recognise this...

Infact, while on my journeys today spotted loads of minis, but thats a different story.

The Protyre center in Fareham is v.good. Have not yet found a car they can't track although must confess have not yet taken a mini there.

I took my mini to protyre when the brakes weren't working

Tried to fool me into spending £230 to basically replace the entire brake system - turns out it was the master cylinder leaking! got it all fixed under warranty in the end.

The moral of the story is - don't take your mini to protyre - they see them as moneypots, and jst point out evry minor flaw!

I was would also recommend steering well away from protyre as I used to Live in fareham. Great if you take loose wheels in as they are very cheap for tyres, but the mechanics. 2 of my mates had rear tyres fitted on thier bikes, and they put them in wrong/loose. One of them nearly had a very serious crash when the wheel came undone.

If you want any work done in Fareham, go to ats as the guys down there have minis, or have owned.

I'm going to say quite the opposite to the above! Go to Protyre! I've had a really shoddy tracking job done at ATS in the past on my audi, and they wern't interested in putting it right either.

Portsmouth Pro tyre is still fairly small, and doesn't have the nice floor level ramp that fareham's branch does. I've had loads of tyres fitted at the Fareham brand before, and they've tracked my audi twice too and done a great job.

I don't know about the portsmouth.fareham branches, but the Plymouth brand of Protyre were more than happy to setup up my car how I wanted it. After a few minutes of the bloke getting confused with settings being 'in the red' on his machine, I told him to ignore the guidelines, and set it up to the geometry I wanted. They let me go down into the pit under the car and talk through exactly what I wanted, and spent an age getting it exactly how I wanted it setup.

really helpful, and a very professional service.

But Protyre are quite good and do 10" wheels.
