Club Triumph

Just picked up my new Spitfire 1500  which I was given the impression is in a better condition mechanically than it is, I took it to my local garage to get the equivilent of an MOT and I  have the following issues:

• Hazards not working
• Washers not working
• Front indicators not working
• o/s brake light not working
• cigarette lighter not working
• steering column loose
• play in offside track rod end
• play in offside top ball joint
• play in o/s lower trunnion
• play in near side left wheel bearing
• near side rear wheel bearing play
• engine oil leak
• engine knocking
• oil leak from overdrive unit
• Water leaking from somewhere in the engine

I am not mechanically minded and where as my local mechanic is willing to sort it, he's not worked on something like this for many years so I imagine I'll be overpaying for him to diagnose faults, can anyone recommend a mechanic in North Cheshire/South Manchester that can sort it and not rip me off?

Thanks in advance

Hi 

I have asked our local members to see if they can suggest anyone for you.
