Default Thanks to Rich @ FB Tuning - Maidenhead

Another satisfied customer !. Rich sorted out a complex issue with my MY03 WRX tonight.

He's like a dog with a bone - worked late into Friday evening and refused to give up until he'd solved it. Even wanted to get his wife out driving around fetching spares but I persuaded him not to do that

Big vote from me

Thanks Keith - I'm pleased to have got it all running properly for you

KAOS - Turned out to be the MAF and the Lambda Sensor, both failing at the same time, and making the ecu do some very strange things
All sorted now though

Kaos - always good to have Rich work on your car. But I do think he needs some armchairs or a settee in that workshop. You can't really enjoy watching a professional at work unless you can get comfortable .

Noting OTT but leather is so practical in a workshop l

Rich is great to deal with. He sorted me out with a set of Mahle pistons this week and it could not have been an easier sale.

Top bloke!

Rich's coffee is great - especially when your butt is freezing off in his workshop

Sounds good, I'll give you a call in a few weeks to start talking about this, just need to spend up for Christmas and see whats left and look at timings from there

Should be able to strip and prep quite a bit too in the interim.
