Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Try Audiolectrics in Macclesfield... very good service, although not the cheapest in the world... Also, there's a car audio place in Chorlton that's supposed to be rather good, it's just up from the bus station in the center of town... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Gav (H100VW) from the forum is in Manchester and is an insurance approved fiiter AFAIK. Drop him a line... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Gav's actually in the Warrington area, but works at Manchester Airport and is someone I'd totally forgotten about for alarms... :oops: Scratch what I said before, PM H100VW and see if he can squeeze you in, 'cos you won't find a better fitter IMHO... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2004 sheesh... have you got a filter running for your name which emails you every time someone mentions you?!? :shock: :lol: :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h100vw 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Gav - you not coming over during TT week to fit me an alarm then? ;) Not at present Tom, plans to move to another island, Australia, have held up lots of projects for months. The Syncro G60 Passat is still in bits on the drive and tonight chucked some coolant out to remind me it's still there! Looks like my new water pump will be coming off again. I can sort you with an alarm to fit yourself if you want. Phone helpline etc. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Australia eh? British weather not good enough eh?! :lol: Think you'll be around in the UK by next Inters? I was planning on getting on the boat, having you sort out the security and then driving down to Inters...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Its a long old process Tom, so I could be? If I have left, two of my mates went to Thatcham on the same course as me and one of them lives in Warrington. He could sort you out no problems. :) Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Gav? you can't leave us now.... all these people over here needing your wiring looms and alarm skills! what would we do?!? :shock: (Jammy git, I'd go to Oz in a flash if an opportunity arose... 8) Wonder how much it'd cost to get my G60 taken over there... ;) :roll: :lol: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted May 21, 2004 I already have a loom apprentice sorted out for you all. And another mate can fit alarms. 'No worries mate' :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted May 21, 2004 If you are going to be in Guildford from next week and for the summer, then go to Ian Bannings and ask for Andy Bryant (ex C VR6 man) as he is a good guy and knows his stuff and most of all, will take care of your car cos he loves VW's. john.

Rado16v 0 Posted May 21, 2004 I second that, Andy is a great guy who knows his stuff. Thoroughly recommended. John, I thought Andy worked for Dennis the fire engine company no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_wintle 0 Posted May 21, 2004 Rado16v, no he changed from there over a year ago now and went back to work for Bannings, whom he used to work for many moons ago under a different owner. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6corrado 0 Posted May 21, 2004 Manchester Car Audio are all a good group of guys (VSIB etc). Theyre on the Stockport Road in Longsight Yep I can vouch for MCA too - top blokes. My car was in for a new cat 1 because my alarm was playing up and all they did was adjust some sensors on my current alarm and saved me a fair few quid. I've had my ICE supplied and fitted by them too. Too bad you didn't go there seanoVR!! *edit* But don't confuse them with Sound Studio next door - they're not so good!
