petermcpete Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Any shiters in Notts?I've got a project car (Porsche 924s) which I've almost finished a clutch 'change' on (long story...) but it's now got to the point I have to reinstall the gearbox...oh. My gearbox jack is shit and basically I can't be arsed with the hassle. Just want to take it to a garage and let people with the right tools do it.It's not movable (obviously), anyone recommend a garage that also has a flatbed for pick up?Or does anyone fancy lending me an a-frame for a beer or two and a spin when* it's finished?Pic attached of the beast inconsistant and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayts450 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Wish I could help, but haven't needed a garage since I moved to Nottingham many years ago (only started driving again this year after an 18 yr hiatus). In my neck of the woods, Bulwell, there's two generally well-received local garages - the Market Garage, and K & M. I seem to recall back in the day the Market Garage used to have a recovery truck, but haven't seen it for a few years. K & M deffo don't. I think the Market Garage is recognised as not necessarily the cheapest, but good quality work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Can you not just round up a couple of mates to help you offer the box back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inconsistant Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Nice! You could try the 924 owners club, there's quite a few midlands people on there and lots of help/support. https://porsche924.co.uk/forum/ Sorry I'm not very good at the midlands, if you're not too far from Warwick you could try Woolies Workshop? http://www.wooliesworkshop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacho man Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 When i was in Notts I always used to use a place called David evans in Carlton https://www.yell.com/biz/david-m-evans-ltd-nottingham-3839536/ Then when I had a few BMW's I used a place called Zentrum in Calverton http://www.zentrum.co.uk/ who are also a Porsche specialist. Both recommended by my good self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
