   My VTS engine needs some work doing on it, unfortunatley I don't have the time to do it myself. I need a decent mechanic to take it to but for all the googling in the world no one appears to be a saxo or vts specialist
   
   Can anyone recommend someone or themselves to do the work? I'm not sure on the size of the job, it probably needs a re-mapped ECU, if I can get an idea of cost of parts/labour then I can get the bits I need to sort it out. Unfortunatley at current I don't have the time to go tracking down performance parts and realy I want someone to take the car off my hands for a few weeks and bring it back with a extra chunk of BHP and a bill
   
   Feel free to email me to request more information about the car, I am not realy trying to troubleshoot it online though, a list of recommended performance mechanics/garages would be a useful resource
   
   Thanks

   Whoops, I live in Bradford, West Yorkshire, should of said..
   
   I got whatever I need to spend to get a decent upgrade without going crazy, Cams and remap should be doable. Spec at the mo is a 106 VTS running on a custom exhaust (manifold back). Its a pug 205 conversion.
