This isn't exactly local, but when I lived in Edinburgh briefly a few years ago I used Car Craft in Broxburn to service my Prisma. I got to know the owner via various car shows and he also owned an integrale Evo 1 at the time. A lot of the other LMC members in the area used him as well: https://carcraftbroxburn.co.uk/

Also, if you use Facebook, there is a 'Lancia Scotland' group that might be able to offer advice on somewhere nearer to you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/662867244199242
1990 Delta HF Turbo i.e.

Angle Grinder

Hi Graeme,

I've not worked on an integrale,  but I live in Monkton and service my own Lancia Thema which has fundamentally the same engine.

If I ever have jobs to do that are beyond my capabilities, mainly welding  (I  do my own timing belt changes etc), I use Seaplane Motors in Drongan.

Davy McColl is an old school mechanic and all round good bloke.

Be good to meet up with you as we have quite a cluster of Lancia in the area. Fulvia in Troon, Monte in Prestwick, your integrale and my Thema SW and Flavia in Monkton.

That's 4 Lancisti so we're quorate.
Current Cars: 1994 2.0 VIS Thema Station Wagon, 1967 Flavia 1.8 PF Coupe.

Previous cars:
1983 Prisma 1600
1991 Thema 16v i.e. SE
1988 Thema 8v Turbo
1992 Thema 16v i.e.
1983 Gamma Coupe (manual)
1993 Thema VIS
1994 Thema VIS LE
1990 Thema 2.8

Hello Andy and Angle Grinder. Thank you for your info. I have found Sandy Wallace in Kilmaurs who I am going to call tomorrow and if he doesn't impress I will talk to Seaplane Motors and if all else fails I will try Car craft when I have found out where Broxburn is! Thank you again.
I am afraid I do not do social media but it does seem a good idea to try and meet up. Quarate is a good word. I would have possibly used quarum but that would have been a shot in the dark.
I also have Triumph Spitfire MK3 (owned for coming upto 40 years now.......) and a Jaguar XKR to keep me occupied.

All the best
Graeme

Hello Neil Jeffrey of Carcraft retired about 18 months ago. He sold the business and I am pretty sure that they have no interest in Deltas.  Neil is doing some work at home (Dollar) and I could message you his contact details if that is of interest.
Another possibility is Hypertec in Bonnybridge - acouple of the integrale owners are grooming them to become experienced with Deltas. Duncan at Hypertec has done a belt change on an Evo 2 amongst other stuff.  They are Subaru specialists.

Hello Graeme,
Another Lancia-friendly garage is Seditas Auto Services at Hurlford.  Not sure about Deltas but knows Betas well.

Lawrence Seditas  - seditasautoservices@btconnect.com   based in Mayfield Ind Est in Hurlford.
