Dropped the car off at 9:20 this morning 'We'll phone you' they said. Dropped by at around 1pm as I was passing in the work van, still not done, waiting for oxygen or somthing so they could heat the bolts up, again they said they'd ring. at 5:30 I phone them only to be told that the whole thing would need to be stripped down and the manifold taken off and put in a vice.....WTF? Useless! Also missing 0.4 gallons of fuel from when i dropped it off and when I got it back Rolling Eyes

So now im stuck without being able to remove the manifold/downpipe bolts Evil or Very Mad

well they will have either ragged the arse off it a few times round the block or sat in the garage revving the tits off it to hear the noise.

You never leave your car anywhere.

When i got my car stereo from Halfords i was intitled to free fitting, so i parks the car up and comes back for it a few hours later, and found half a gallon gone Shocked ... now i know 21t's are thirsty, but half a gallon per stereo fitting, now that is thirsty Laughing Laughing

JB took his 16V somewhere then left, he was then driven by in his own car! He wasn;t bothered, I woudl have been knockign teeth out.

I went to RAC windscreens for the 16V screen, they asked if I had petrol in the car, I asked why, we need to take it out. Fuck off was my reply, mobile dude came and done it.
