I TOOK MY CAR TO 3 GARAGES. THE FIRST ONE PUT TOO MUCH SILICONE ON THE OIL PUMP WHICH RESULTED IN THE ENGINE STARVING ITSELF OF OIL RESULTING IN BLOWING UP AND I HAD TO HAVE MY FIRST ENGINE REBUILD. THE SECOND GARAGE TOOK 16 WEEKS TO BUILD MY ENGINE I HAD A 2.5 BOTTOM END FITTED 600 MILES LATER IT BLEW UP!! I FOUND OUT THIS WAS BECAUSE THE **** HAD USED 2.0 LITRE HEAD GASKETS INSTEAD OF 2.5 GASKETS! GARAGE NUMBER 3 TOOK 12 WEEKS I RAN IT IN AS I WAS TOLD TREATED IT LIKE A BABY AND TOOK IT TO BOB RAWLE TO BE MAPPED AND USED 2 LITRES OF OIL IN 180 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GAPS IN THE PITON RINGS WERE WRONG!!! SO 3 ENGINES ALL KNACKERED AND IVE NOT GOT A PENNY BACK!!! RANG THEM AND AS USUAL THE GARAGE HAS PASSED THE BUCK CANT SAY WHO THEY ARE YET BUT THEY KNOW AS SOLICITORS ARE INVOLVED. AS SOON AS ITS OVER I WILL TELL EVERYONE AND ANYONE SO AS I CAN WARN PEOPLE NOT TO GO THERE.

 

Gutted for you mate.

Really puts a spoiler on something that you clearly enjoy - modding your car.

Hope it gets sorted.

Really bad news mate . Hope u have some good results with legal action .How do these cowboys manage to make such f**k ups . Most people on here,including me put every last penny into our cars without having to deal with sh*t like this.

take a day out, go to TSL, and sit back and watch the experts play. Knackering day, but you get 100% service from people who know what they are doing.

 

you need to go to some garage that has a good rep, thanks for the info again.

 

that is unbeliveably bad luck mate, you must have spent ££££££££££££'s

Hope you get it sorted

Now I REALLY hope it gets sorted for you. Christ if I win the lottery on saturday I'll pay for your legal fees just to see to it that these cowboys get a kicking in court.
