Engineers in Mid Wales by SnortonR on Fri May 28, 2010 10:46 am
Hi, Can anyone point me towards a good and inexpensive engineering company in mid wales where heads (VM) can be pressure tested/cleaned/skimmed etc. I'm trying to save on the postage in sending several heads away. Thanks

I've used J Lyons quite a few times and they have a good reputation as do South Wales Piston Services

Try Interparcel for shipping, they do some really good rates for heavy stuff and you can get a quote online
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(
