DOYLEY Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi All, I'm looking for a good TR5 specialist in the Solihull/ West Midlands area that I could get to "look after" my TR5. Thanks Doyley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvark Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hello Doyley. What sort of help do you need? Are you looking for someone to help you to eventually look after the car yourself or are you looking to just take the car to someone for them to service it etc and for you not to be bothered about the maintenance side? Is it just standard servicing or are there specific issues you want resolving? Is it a standard car with pi? Answering these questions will help with the answer to the original question. Ie a local trusted garage might be ok to change a tapered wheel bearing but are unlikely to understand pi. The main trusted TR specific places like TRE, TRBitz and TRGB are quite some distance from you but I would suggest if you are looking for general servicing then more local alternatives are available depending on the issues needing resolving. cheers dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DOYLEY Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi Guys, Many thank for your comments, and recommendations. Regards Doyley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DenisMc Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi Doley, I used Worcester Classic Cars Ltd to replace the check strap bracket on the passenger door of my TR5. The old bracket had been bodged and had torn apart. This was a tricky job involving removing and dismantling the door cutting out the remains of the old spot welded bracket and welding in a replacement. The paintwork on the front edge of the door also had to be made good. They did a fantastic job to the price they quoted with no damage to the outer paintwork. The contact is Simon Andrews on the number mentioned above. Regards, Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
