Well it failed on front brake pads, which I knew were going to need doing the lambda sensor and the emisions.
Now, when he rang me and say emisions I thought about the exhaust, which is new. Got there and he said there was a hole....hummm....he showed me my new powerflow back box and I could see what he was saying the stupid fucking cunts at powerflow had not welded half of the exhaust together!
I took it back there and they fixed it walked out and realised there was another two of them (holes) so back I went and they fixed that.
The car wont be ready till 2pm, but I was not best pleased.  |

with the holes sorted then the emmisions should be fine.
front brake pads should take maybe 20 mins in halfords car park. |

My advice to those of you who have powerflow components is check the welding. |

I mean you pay good money for these things and expect them to be properly put together.
It's caused me so much hassle I really don't need at the moment.
Good thing is that the car will stop properly.
When I go back down I will see if it needs an oil change and I will do it as I wont have any cash after all this is done  |

Cost me £185  I have no money now for 2 weeks I have about 1/8th of a tank of petrol.
I had the lambda sensor replaced, new front discs and new front pads.
My breaks are a bit dodgy at the mo.
Well it's done for a year. |

ferk that! the lambda was prob fine, it will have been the leaky exhaust making the lambda reading dodgy. |
