Anyone know of machine shops etc in Aberdeen?

My SR exhaust manifold has a broken stud which I cannot get removed, I put it too a well known machine shop here but, a week later they have not touched it.

I'm having to use the xe as my daily but am getting a little tired of the supple ride, nice comfy soft seat and the silent engine lol

yeah, the remains of the stud is below the line if you know what I mean, so can't be gotten at with self grips etc. I tried drilling it out and did damage a little bit at the side but hopefully with a tiny bit of weld and patience I can sort that out!

DROVE MY SR TODAY!!!!!! Thanks to Bazzap, I dropped the manifold off and just over an hour later got the call to tell me it was repaired, an hour after that it was delivered, true service! Thanks

When refitting the manifold I noticed a little bit of bad paint on the cross member, guess what............yes, I managed to get a screwdriver through it, I'll leave it to next week and get the welder out.
