Millway Vehicles Andover

Post by nikaiyo »

Had a service done not long ago, unfortuantly on the way there my engine cover release broke! They spent 1 hour trying to get into engine bay... charge for this £0.00 :D :D

The quality of their body work is pretty good to, they replaced 3 panels & front bumper on my old MX5, not a single person noticed the body work when i sold it!

Very imformative :roll:

I have not used Millway for any work but have been there a couple of times, they seem very friendly and competent.
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.

General opinion is their bodywork stuff is good. Indeed have had my car sprayed and refurbed there to good effect in the past.

David does have some well known issues Ollie as regards mechanical work I believe...

Yep,

My old car came away from there after having coilovers with adjustable top mounts fitted,.... the top mounts were fitted not as a mirror image as they should have been but both the same way... maybe they thought i was going to race ovals? :-s

They did a good fast cheap job of fitting a palleted Turbo conversion to my car, that all went smoothly, sort of, except for a hesitancy coming on boost. I supplied them with new plugs, they didn't fit them as the engine had some HKS ones already in it which were fine they said, when I got home I swapped my new plugs in hesitancy went away...


Also my conversion engine failed shortly after them fitting a unichip, that saw me out of MR2's for the last 2 years.

Very friendly, very reasonably priced, but un-reliable, variable work.

Millway's was the reason the 'nail' engine had to come out and be rebuilt from scratch.
I posted pics of the bores shortly after it came apart, and received comments that 'stevie wonder had honed it' - not the quality of work you'd expect from a competant garage.
Also, I was not impressed that they had not even used toyota or decent aftermarket gaskets in the rebuild - some looked worse than blueprint. For a standard car... maybe, for a highly modified car no way =;

Needless to say, the car is now back together using toyota's best, and an HKS gasket is going in after it appears even the toyota one is not quite man enough for our car....

Should be good when it's back together :thumleft:
