M-Fix History
Working in the Motor Trade since 1992, I have experience in both the Main Dealer environment and 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?

 

Specialising in Engine Tuning - Classic Cars & Carburettors (SU/Weber/Solex/Stromberg/Pierburg etc)

• Fuel mixture data logging service now available from May 2008. This will be most useful for people who have modified their engine & require correct carb jetting or fuel/air ratio diagnostics. 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
• CO level adjustment
• Carburettor Balancing
  
  

• Engine Timing/Electronic Ignition Conversions

• Engine Timing - Correct timing is important to ensure fuel economy, performance & reliability are optimised.
• Electronic Ignition - A choice of kits are available for most vehicles, fitting is usually a simple job.
  

• Examples of Carburettor Engines recently Tuned
• Ford V6 Essex
• Jaguar XK 4.2 Litre
• Triumph/Austin B Series 1500cc
• A Series 998/1071/1098/1275cc etc

• 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 (e.g. ABS/Airbag), 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 Diagnostic Checks - Most Cars Can Be Checked

• Trace/repair faults with engine management using modern equipment.
• Second opinion given for work where you are unsure whether you have been given the correct diagnosis.
• Rover V8 diagnostic check, for all vehicles fitted with the 14 CUX Type ECU System which have a diagnostic 4 pin socket. Should cover all TVR Chimaera's & Griffiths fitted with Catalytic convertors. Also some Marcos, Morgan, Land Rover, Range Rover models etc etc. See link below for price list.
• Classic Mini fitted with the 1.3 SPi (Single point injection) engine - e.g. 1990's Mini Cooper etc. MPi injection models can also be checked - please call or email for details.
• I can Diagnose the following makes: Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Citroën, Daewoo, Daihatsu, Fiat, Ford, GM/Opel, Honda, Isuzu, Jaguar, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lotus, Mercedes, Mini, Mitsubishi FTO, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Rover/MG, Saab, Seat, Skoda, Smart, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.
• Please note cars that were pre OBD2 (standard diagnostic protocol now in use) can sometimes require special hardware & software that is specific to that model alone. Examples of which are the Mitsubishi FTO (which I have the correct hardware & software to diagnose), Jaguar (pre 2001) which I don't have (yet)! The hardware kit for the early Jags costs about £350 so please understand that occasionally it may be simpler & cheaper to visit a main dealer. Cars with OBD2 however can all be checked without main dealer tools.

• Commonly many jobs are to diagnose & repair vehicles which have been 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. In the winter it's heater fans not working and drum brakes seized up.
