Recommended R4 garage in South England required

[Jamie Turner]

I would be grateful for any recommedations for a good garage to service and bring some life back to a 1983 GTL which has been off the road for the past 2 years. Need new seals all round and general service. Otherwise is good nick so no bodywork required. I am based in Wiltshire/Glos but happy to travel within 100 miles or so for the right person.
Mnay thanks
Jamie

or Derek Flavell (Renospeed, now in Cornwall: 07816 586642)

They're both R4 experts.
Good luck in the hunt!

Hello Jamie - I saw this response in another recent thread if it's of use. I used Derek at Renospeed some years ago when he was in London, and was very happy with the work.

Best wishes, Simon.

Derek is now in Devon, near Holsworthy, so not too far from you. His number is 07816586642. Best to phone him in the week please.

There is a Renault garage near to Minehead that has worked on my R4 F4 - a couple of the mechanics there are 'old school' and apprenticed on R4s so loved getting to work on mine rather than just plugging in to a computer. They got mine running sweetly and then I had to have a head gasket replacement with all ancillary work - they even arranged getting some sort of blanking plate on the side of the engine custom made as they couldn't source a replacement. I'd thoroughly recommend and not too far if you're Wiltshire/Gloucestershire. PM me for garage details if you want.
