Hi folks
Does anyone know of a good Mobile auto electrician in the Edinburgh or West Lothian area?
I'm having major electrical gremlins causing immobiliser errors and I can't get the VX started.
Tried everything I can think of and now really need an expert to look at it. <sigh>

It'll probably last about a year on 1 tank.

A guy called Mark does a lot of work for Taggarts bodyshop in Motherwell. He sorted out my keyless entry/start and folding roof on my Astra twintop. Don't have his number but if you ring the bodyshop they'll give it to you.
