How much labour does your guy charge to remove a engine? :lol1:

13 hours is way too much mate.

Biggs 12 October 2010 06:05 PM

Perhaps they quoted you that time/money so that it would put you off. Not all garages want to work with these types of car.

13 hours is ridiculous....

Thats over a day and a halfs labour for a garage.

dunx 12 October 2010 08:41 PM

If I REALLY disliked someone I would offer to charge them at those rates...

LOL

dunx

P.S. Even fitting five took me all morning, but two are just "stuck" ontop of the dash board.

F11 SYS 12 October 2010 09:12 PM

it was power station that fitted the gauges,complete and utter rip offs!! 60 quid an hour plus vat. they machined a flanged,fixed a number plate bulb,swapped my brake discs around and changed brake fluid,fitted 3 gauges(oil temp,oil pressure,water temp) which i pre mounted into the pod but i didnt mount the pod to the dash board,i baught them the correct sandwich plate for these, the petrol cap needed a spring and my speedo wasnt working. they charged me £200 for parts including converter for the speedo,brake fluid,antifreeze,wires,plug and the grease on my ass when they raped me.23 half hours labour to do just this 5 hours work,they had the car for 2 weeks blaming the machineist,when i went to pick it up the speedo still wasnt working so had to leave it there and go back again,still wasnt fixed so just gave them a piece of my mind and came home with no money at all,skint,broke,robbed,raped,butchered etc etc worst of all im a **** for giving them the money!!!!!!!

LOL... not really needed but still not 13 hours work... why didn't you do it yourself its easy, case of wiring from sensor through some holes in engine bay into car and then to gauges.

jayallen 12 October 2010 09:43 PM

Cheap gauges or not, if they came with wiring diagrams it should of been a piece of p1ss.

gpssti4 12 October 2010 09:48 PM

If that's all true I won't ever be considering Power Station again!

F11 SYS 12 October 2010 09:50 PM

IF I HAD KNOWN THEY WERE GOING TO ROB ME I WOULDNT HAVE GONE THERE.I THAUGHT THEY WERE PROFESSIONALS!!!!

You're either very upset, or just joined up here to slag them off.... or both.
