yer im the guy who had trouble well im gonna have a look at it tomorrow see if i can see where its coming from cuz its stranded at my mates at the moment and if its the rear main again im gonna ring foresters and kick off as they charged 1475 for the rear main to be done last time and if its gone again there is now way im paying again im gonna demand they have the car picked up cuz i dont see why i should pay for summot that they should of sorted the 1st time i dunno what im gonna do as where ever i take it its gonna have to be towed cuz its un drivable the oil is coming out way to fast

 

Graig give me a shout if you like and we can take a look at MVS.
If your local to Wolverhampton I can get it picked up Monday.

 

my mate has a car transporter if you need it shifting give me a shout and ill see if he can do me a favour. but seriously I would get a second opinion and make sure they haven't pulled a fast one with a **** poor repair.

 

ahh nice one lads i really appreciate that will keep u informed then will see where its coming from then ring them first thing monday im from redditch in worcester

 

Craig no problems be happy to help if can

 

sorry to hear that Craig, get it recovered to MVS

 

Morning All

 

Morning all, Mud flaps are now fitted

 

good morning all

 

hi mate i mite have it off you £50 just want to no if it can fit on my classic

 

It will fit... but one of the hangers won't fit. You would have to get the hanger toward the back rewelded in the right position for a classic.

 

morning guys ive woken up in such a miserable mood today ive got a car to valet but really not in the mood oh well i need the money especially now

 

Classic de-cat centre pipe up for grabs anyone want one?? it will save me the cost of sending it back

 

chin up craig. i know exactly how you feel. when i had my accident last year and had the car written off, i just couldnt see any solution. but now she is back bigger and better than ever. there is always a light at the end of every tunnel and there are plenty of people out there willing to help.

 

how many inches lagamorph?

 

oooh eeeerr missus!!!

53" - 54" or there abouts can post pics if you want.

 

morning all btw .... hope everyone is well ????

 

Mark, if you need a back box i have got my old one you can have, was V. loud, (perfect condition) just let me know and i will bring with me nxt week

 

well just had the car looked looks like the rear main oil seal has failed again so its gonna be a angry fone call to foresters tomorrow cuz they were supposed to of fixed that last time

 

if it was me i would have a chat with citizens advice/trading standards before it goes back to forresters. find out where you stand at getting it repaired somewhere else and giving forresters the repair bill. or see if you can get an independant report done and hand it to forresters along with a letter stateing what exactly is wrong with the car and u want them to put it right at no extra expense to yourself.

 

well im gonna ring them tomorrow and see what they have to say if they dont play ball then i will be seeking legal advice and getting in touch with trading stndards the carried out the repair on 22/2/11 and its gone already bit shocking if u ask me

 

Craig you are not listening to me are you?
I told you I know Ivan and have done for many years, I volunteered to speak to him but you never called........

Just a thought..........

 

Over the years I've heard many stories about Forresters and having not met Ivan can't comment on him. However, i know you're keen to get it fixed and back on the road. I personally would seek legal advise, then if possible take it to another proper garage for the repair. I would not let that place touch my car again EVER.

 

+1

 

Jon reading back, is it a front strut brace you need fitted?

 

frt lower brace.



supposed to fit between the frt wishbones just behind the steering rack, but cant find any photo's of one fitted to any hawkeye.
