Looking for TJ Mechanic in West London

Hi @Tallman, did you find anything in the end? I'm in the market for a TJ at the moment, and I live in West London so would be interested to hear if you found someone you rate.
Hi @myfirstjeep_UK - yes I did find a mechanic - Radu from RCPB 4x4 Specialist based in Welwyn Garden City - http://www.herts4x4specialist.co.uk - have taken Jeep to him a few times - very knowledgeable and friendly - am currently talking with him about a rust treatment and lift.

No problem - you may have already had a look but Atlan Motors in Chalfont St Giles has a lot of Wranglers (most of them Japanese imports) - https://www.vip-motors.co.uk

Yes, I've seen them online and they've got a good range. They're a little above my price range though, so I'm putting away a few extra pennies.... I'm finding it actually very easy to be patient during lockdown - there's nowhere to go! :ROFLMAO::cry:
 
True they are a little bit on the expensive side - most are in really good shape being Japanese imports - found mine all beat up and sad in the back of a car lot in Wembley - loving the long and slow job of bringing it back to full glory+ ! Good luck with the hunt !

I'm trying to get a pair of front seats refurbished. Struggling to find anyone who can make sense of the cable set up in them. Do you know anyone that can work on it?

When you say refurbished are we talking recovered? Also a bit confused by what you mean by the cable set up?

Yeah, I'm getting them reupholstered. Re the cables, I'm talking about the cables that run in the seat that connect the levers to the mount so you can recline and roll forward the seat.

Not sure if the TJ seat set up for slide and tip is unique or if other three doors will have a similar system, if not uniqued you'd hope anyone who deals with seats would know what they are doing. In terms of reuphostering I did here from a friend of a friend that he had his seats reupholstered by a guy in Peterborough and was really pleased with the results. If it helps I can try and track down the name of the guy.

Thanks, would be great to get the details! Re the cables, I think I found a solution.

The friend of a friend used somebody called Juhn Hunt in Peterborough...

Never seen the work he did and never spoken to the person, just had a third hand recommendation so some due diligence requiredwho had it done. It seems he has a YouTube channel, so may be pssible to have a look at some of his work.

Thanks, I'll check him out!
 
Afternoon @myfirstjeep_UK - just wondering if you have found the TJ yet? I am selling mine (reluctantly) I am dealing with a long term health issue and can't deal with the distraction of the jeep sitting in the drive not being done up as planned. If you already have one or aren't looking anymore is no problem - just thought I would message you in the off chance.... Look forward to hearing from you.
