They re sleeved the engine barrel for my Matchless G3WO, and fixed up the threads on the head and barrel, they did an... amazing job, really nice people, I sent it via the post as I’m too far away to drop it off. I started the bike up for the first time the other day, and it started 3rd kick, which is all down to the guys at T&L, and then today, took the bike out for a trial run for the first time I will be returning with the engine from the other bike when that needs a rebore. I’ve attached the before and after pictures.read more

My wife has an 850 Mini Mk1 that has been running rough and burning oil. We took the cylinder head to T&L as the... guides were worn and it was generally in need of work. T&L have done a fantastic job, really high quality workmanship and very thorough including skimming, guide replacement, unleaded seats, new valves/springs etc... Highly recommended, I will be taking my Ford crossflow head in soon for a similar treatment. Thanks again from Nick and Jennie Wright.read more

A very efficient business turning out high quality workmanship. Friendly and approachable staff. I took my vintage... motorcycle engine to have a repair done to the sump and because I was travelling a long way the repair was done the same day ( by prior arrangement) . First class Job and I'm very pleased with it. Good old fashion British service.read more

Used T&L for dynamic balancing of V8 crankshaft, weight matching rods and polishing of journals. Barry at T&L talked me... through everything he'd need and gave separate information and advice on assembly. Exceptionally rapid service. I'll happily use them again and would recommend to others.read more

Superb job! Oil had been getting into the coolant of my MGA and it had been using more oil than it should. Took the... head off and visited T&L, Barry was great - knowledgeable, honest and open, quickly identified the issues and solutions. Within a few days I was bolting the head back on, all pressure checked, cleaned and reconditioned where necessary. A few months of use on, including 2 return trips to Le Mans, it has been running very well, no cross feed of oil and coolant, and the oil consumption back to normal. Top job, top people - highly recommendedread more

Having foolishly attempted to recut the valve seats on my BSA A65 at home, I realised I had made a mess of them and I... got in contact with T and L to get some new valve seats fitted to the cylinder head- Barry responded to my email within hours and I couriered the head down to them. Just over one week later and it’s back on the bike…..superb service- price was very reasonable too. They’d even lapped the valves in. Highly recommended.read more

Where to begin? I needed a crank regrind on my Triumph T140, quick professional chat with Barry and drive up there.... Discover they do vapour blasting and at last min opt for dynamic balancing too. Took 3 weeks - got crank (needed spray welding too) and cases which look amazing, best vapour blasting I’ve ever seen. The crank measures up perfectly at top end of tolerances. Bolt it all up and that’s when I see how good they are at dynamic balancing - my bike is transformed revving freely to 6,000 with little complaint and to 4000 in comfort. For the first time in my 30 years of ownership it feels sorted, way better than when it left the factory I imagine. I then took a knackered Matchless -G80 head to them - T and L have created an art work! Can’t recommend enough. First class engineering and related services at fair prices 👍read more

Absolutely amazing service! Had my 1.4 TFSI Audi - cylinder head reconditioned here with new valves + guides as it was... losing compression. Audi’s workshop tried to fix my car spending 4 weeks changing coils and other unnecessary parts without having a clue what’s the actually problem on my car, they then decided I need to buy a whole new cylinder head as they suspect it to be cracked. I knew this cannot be the reason so I called Barry here at T&L and he instantly knew what I need. Obviously my cylinder head has no cracks after T&L did a compression test but the valves were worn out and needed to be replaced along with the guides. After T&L reconditioned my cylinder head they posted back to Audi to install it back on my car, they’ve only taken 3 days to do the whole job which I think is top class quality work. This repair saved me a lot of money as I didn’t have to buy a new head from Audi that would have been over £2k and my car is now running absolutely spot on like it’s brand new, smooth engine sound and no loss of compression anymore! Thanks again for all your hard work Barry!read more

If you're into restoring old British motorcycles, then T&L are the answer to your prayers. Lovely guys who are first... class engineers that really know the subject and their business. My old Matchless cylinder barrel was beyond redemption, but T&L did a lovely job sleeving it for me as well as finding a suitable piston. The barrel was vapour blasted then had damaged cooling fins replaced and repaired before repainting with a decent, heat resisting cylinder black. Now, as good as new. Barry was a pleasure to deal with, so I'll be back. Highly recommended!read more

Two years ago T&L reconditioned my 1960 Triumph T110 lower end and cylinder head. Rebore, dynamic balancing, replace... all bushes and bearings, valves and guides etc. Plus fixing a crankcase crack that others said was unfixable. Since the rebuild I have used the bike every week year round covering about 5000 miles without any problems. Barry must have done something right! He gave good feedback and nothing got fixed that didn’t need fixing. Good job at a fair price.read more
