REDWOOD RS

Do you have an older car, maybe a classic, which is off the road and you haven't the time to get it up and running again? Maybe you don't have the tools, or the knowledge you require. Maybe you have electrical problems and whilst you can do your own mechanical work, you're not confident enough with electrics. Since the car is off the road, the first problem you have is getting the car to a garage for them to have a look at it. Maybe I can provide the service you need. Since I am mobile I can come to you and work on it where it is garaged.

I am an auto technician with over 35 years experience in the motor trade, working on cars and trucks for manufacturers like BMC/Leyland including Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley, and Jaguar, Rover, Triumph; Ford; Fiat; Bentley; Renault; TVR; BMW and Daimler-Benz; and up to and including doing diagnostic work on the latest complex electronic vehicles as an RTE for Renault. I ran a workshop successfully in Accra, Ghana in the eighties, on a two year contract. I too run classic vehicles and have a Matra Murena (see below) which I have had from new in 1983 and I'm the Murena and general technical advisor for the Matra Enthusiasts Club UK. Until I became self employed, I was also an M.o.T. tester, and used to prepare H.G.V.'s for their annual test, so I know what is required and can advise on these issues, or make sure your car meets the necessary standards.

Redwood RS:
I started working for myself nearly two years ago, when I decided I was no longer getting job satifaction working for others, and wished to get back to enjoying my work, and giving customers better service and value for money than the dealers or garages often provide. Since Matra cars are my speciality, I can often provide spares from my stock.

Type of work:
Any electrical work, whether diagnostic, repair or restoration, including making up complete wiring looms. Older and classic car looms can be made to look like the original, if required. If you have any special requirements or modifications, try me - I can design circuits from scratch. I always provide wiring diagrams for any additions or modifications, so that anyone competant can work on the car if necessary at any later time. I will also consider engine or gearbox repairs or overhauls; and can work with most carburettors.

My charges:
I charge £25 per hour plus parts and if I travel to you to work on the car at your location, mileage at 40 pence per mile, for anything over 10 miles.
