Paul Nolan seems to be your only man in the Dublin area... do a search and you should find loads of posts recommending him.

EDIT: oop just saw the other post where you've already got a quote from him

I do all of the basic servicing myself (as do plenty of other Dub owners), for work that needs a lift but isn't too involved, I might use a local mechanic. Anything mildly tricky that involves pulling the engine apart I'd be inclined to leave it to PN.

Wait until Mcgons mechanic gets well or get the Golden Pages out. Remember, you have the option of having the work done in a Mitsi dealership, would be interesting to compare cost....

Post up on Irish Mitsi Owners site looking for a mechanic in Dublin that works on Mitsi's. Several other models are fitted with similar tappets that would need changing also.
