Potentially libellous / slanderous remarks.

Not at all. I was properly annoyed and will happily stand in court with the rest of the masses.

Can I suggest you look at the Law that applies in this country, as that is what we have to abide by and also look at the implications of what you say may have for ScoobyNet....... it's not all about the knock on implications for you only.

I'm sure there's a law too against ripping off the public with shoddy engine work

I went to look for SFS (silicon hose place) to get a nice set of red hoses for the scoob at the Kingsway estate by dallow road where PTS are also based, and as well as finding out SFS have since moved premises also looks like PTS are shutting up shop.

scoobynutta555 , as well as agreeing with what you said that got 'edited' I have to stick up for you, I was taken for a massive bill there once (£1463 for a blown RS turbo escort cylinder head, mahle pistons and rings replaced and refitted !) and even turning up one evening to drop (the same) car off as it wouldn't hold revs properly and getting a call just after I had left when they were closed and was told the throttle cable screw had come loose. A £68 bill (surely not an hours work?)for tightening/replacing a 10p screw was the last straw for me.

Well my FRST was 'chipped' there and within 2 months the engine blew. (They stuck a bleed valve on which was running 18 psi, when as standard the boost would be something like 6 or 7.) I took it back there to be fixed, they had it 2 weeks and then told me I needed a new engine, charge for this diagnosis was 700 odd quid. I sort of knew the engine was gone due to the oil all over the radiator, bumper and the fact that the car wouldn't start.

Then a fried of the chairman of the RSOC sourced a new engine from Ford for 695 quid, and another mate of his (ex Ford rally mechanic) fitted it for a very reasonable price.

So you can see why I'm a bit fed up of PTS and why a lot of other people are fed up too. It's quite simply laughable that this can be construed as libel.

Might have improved since I was there, but I doubt it. You'll have to tell us how you get on; maybe do a search before you put your car somewhere!
