Hi All,
I know there used to be a chap in Skipton who had a garage specialising in the A2, and I remember A2 Cars near Milton Keynes, I think? But I don't think either of these is still operating now?
The reason for my question is that I'm thinking of giving my lovely 130,000 mile A2 TDi90 Sport a bit of a makeover, and she also needs a gearbox rebuild. I normally get servicing and repairs done by Awesome GTi, who are reasonably local to me, but they're more into tuning and modifications, and I don't think they're as clued up about the A2's little peccadilloes as a true specialist would be. I want some advice about what work I should be contemplating, aside from the gearbox. I'm likely to be retiring her from daily driver duties, which means I can lay her up for a bit.
I'm not a natural DIY-er when it comes to cars, so wouldn't really enjoy tackling the work myself. I realise a statement like that could get me drummed out of the club, so I just hope my 15 years of A2 ownership will act in mitigation!
