Hi all,
I just called MX5parts to see if I could get them to do some work on my car which I need done by the summer - but their guy said their workshop was shut as their mechanic is ill so didn’t think they could do anything to help 
They are not particularly close (120 miles), we are in Sevenoaks Kent, but I had read good things and have bought from them before online… so, my question is whether anyone can recommend someone in the Kent/Sussex/Essex area who can do some repairs before I go traveling in Europe (hopefully in summer).
The car is a Mk1 Monza 1.6 and there are a few bits I need done;
New discs and pads front & rear (prefer ‘premium’ brands like Brembo)
• Fit new o/s/f caliper (I already have a brand new one)
• Flush and replace brake fluid
• Full service… feels a bit gutless – wont need spark plugs as I gave oil/filter change and new plugs last summer (about 100 miles ago)
• Check clutch – had brand new 3 piece clutch fitted in July 2016 (142,300 miles) – done less than 2000 miles since fitting! But as pedal is inconsistent I think there may be a slave/master cylinder issue – or more likely fluid needs flushing & replacing!
Also need the suspension and geometry given the once over in case there is anything which needs doing.
Oh, there is also one cosmetic issue - the front subframe is quite rusty, so could do with wire brushing and hammerite!
I can do most of these jobs, but just dont get the time now and its also a lot easier on a ramp 
Anyway, any recommendations of local mechanics/garages who are not rip-off merchants would be gratefully received.
