Peter Gidden / Sbits

Post by Marlowe »

After posting for help with finding garages who'd drop the engine on my recently purchased MR2, I was directed unanimously up to Peter Gidden at Sbits.

From the moment I first made contact with Peter I was reassured to know that I was dealing with someone not only extremely knowledgeable but also very enthusiastic about MR2s and more than happy to undertake work.

Knowing that I had no service history on the car and that it was only recently acquired, he had a good examination of the car for all the regular faults and thankfully picked up on a few issues alongside the oil leak, such as a badly frayed accelerator cable and the ignition timing which was significantly out. All the way through this process I was left always with the decision whether to authorise any additional work which, as I intend to keep the car for the foreseeable future, I was happy to do.

Throughout the take down, examination and rebuilding of the engine, Peter kept me constantly updated, even sending photographs of the build for me to see exactly what was being done. When the leak was identified as a missing bolt I was doubly glad I'd taken the car to Pete - anyone without his specialist knowledge of the car would've most likely just replaced the seals and left me with a still leaking engine.

Having received the car, it now feels far better and I'm really glad I went with Peter for the repair.
