.: BMW Vanos Kits & Services


Often maligned & missunderstood, the notorious BMW vanos system can now be repaired using our custom-manufactured kits & our technical expertise.

Unlike some garages & "specialists", we wont just sell you a new vanos - we will take the time & effort to discuss your issues, test your system if necessary, determine if anything needs to be done & then work with you in whichever way you decide based on an informed descision. In the vast majority of cases we can help resolve issues without the major expense of a new unit.

We were the first in the UK to develop the uprated seal kits, so our knowledge & expertise are second to none. We don't shout about our services on forums to generate work, we prefer genuine customer recommendation from impressed customers - those in-the-know know Iridium!
