In Kent area or in London.

I had a quaife fitted to my civic type-r which I sold lat year, made such a massive difference. Lots of money but definitely worth it.

2nd this. I travel up from near lakeside in thurrock and a month open return from Bedford on the train is only £40 if you have to leave your car with him.

 Alex's service and attention to detail is 2nd to none and definitely worth travelling for

Fitting the dsg version might be a little bit more involved

Way more involved and loads more risk. Around 4 hours to remove and refit. Then around 6 to do the build correctly. I also use a new seal for the clutch packs.

Just filling up the oil as a service is around 180.

Do it cheap then it comes back to bite.
