M-Fix History
Working in the Motor Trade since 1992, I have experience in both the Main Dealer environment and from previously running a workshop of my own, under the business name of Minifix (specialising in the original Mini). My experience includes all types of Servicing/Repairs, Engine & Electronic Diagnostics, MOT Testing, Spare Parts Supply and Bodywork/Restorations.

The service I provide is polite, reliable and enthusiastic.

Why waste time & money when you can have the work done at your convenience - and to main dealer standards?

Electrical Repairs Guaranteed

Having worked in a main dealer for a number of years, you can be assured that most types of electrical/electronic fault have been experienced.
Whilst specialist equipment is necessary for many new vehicles, there are still some operations that can be carried out including: Ignition problems & misfires, starting faults and non starts, warning lamps illuminating, etc etc. All repairs are carried out to exacting standards and workmanship is guaranteed. If for any reason I am unable to fix a particular fault, you will be charged only for the call-out and diagnostic checks. I do have many specialist diagnostic tools allowing a large range of makes/models to be diagnosed. Please see price list for further details

Mobile Mechanical Repairs - Renault, Mini (original type to 2000) & TVR specialist

• Servicing to main dealer standards on Renaults, Minis & TVRs, other models considered.
• Certain mechanical repairs can be undertaken, depending on workload. If you have a specific question please call or email to discuss.
• Cambelts - I ask that these are limited to Renault now due to my workload. Always worth calling as in quiet times I do consider this work.

Mobile Mini Specialist Work

• New for summer 2008, I have decided to concentrate more on the classic Mini. All models catered for from 1959 - 1996, with 6 years specialising in these cars previously in my workshop you can be assured of quality work and extensive knowledge.
• Air/Fuel carburettor Tuning - as good as a rolling road to ensure your SU carb has the correct needle & fuel mixture. See Engine Tuning --->
• Ignition Timing, Dwell Angle & exhaust gas CO level also a speciality
• As mentioned already, available from 12th September is a diagnostic check service for the Classic Mini fitted with the 1.3i engine - e.g. 1990's Mini Cooper etc. This service is difficult to find in any garage as the diagnostic tool required is expensive and unlikely to be purchased unless specialising in this vehicle. I can do the all SPi & MPI models to the last classis mini!

Engine Tuning

• Fuel/engine management mapping service now available from May 2008. This will be most useful for people who have modified their engine & require correct carb jetting. Some other fuel injected cars catered for including the Rover V8 engine as fitted to many vehicles including TVR, Marcos, Morgan etc. Similar to rolling road tuning, except data is collected from road testing the vehicle giving a competitive price for people with lower budgets. The ideal solution for correct fuel jetting prior to a rolling road session, or simply to get the car driveable. Printout available at end of test, prices to appear once this service becomes operational.

  Typical Work

• Mosty common jobs include being called out to jump start vehicles with flat batteries, diagnose & repair vehicles unable to get to a repair garage, put out service lights, also ABS/Airbag warning lights especially as these lamps must work then extinguish to enable an MOT pass.
• Engine flood damage checks - recently this is becoming more common, especially on Turbo Diesel vehicles which readily suck water in when driving through deep floods. Although commonly the engine can be seriously damaged, It is sometimes possible that no damage has ocurred and the vehicle can be restarted after a few procedures.
