after i stupidly hit a brick at 70mph and fucked my sump and took a 2x1" piece of block with it.
i bought a engine with noisey heads thinking i could use the my old heads. so of i went to my usuall backstreet mechinic to ask if he could do the engine change and he said yeah no bother only to tell me a few days later it was to big a job for him but he sent me tae another garage.
so i went there and two days later i got a phone call its done. only to find out that its only running on 5 cylanders and i need to get a new ecu and they have done all they can so i thought fair enough.
3 months later after saving ALOT MORE money went to see another garage and i explained what needed done (no4 cylander not firing, heads needing swapped, get ready for a mot, fit rear lowering ssprings and replace the plenim) and he said yes NO BOTHER.
3wks went by and not a word so i went to see how things were getting on to find out it needs a new brake calliper, lamda senser, 2 new tyres and that engine i had just got put in was fucked (or so he says anyway)
on his professional opinian he put mine bk in.
so 7 month later i get it bk after alot of fall outs. hes replaced the engine to find theres no compression on two cylanders and removed the rear head and reseated the valves which solved the problem untill it dropped a valve and fucked a piston. i wasnt happy! 3 months it took him to sort.
got it back to mine heres the things still wrong:-
no brake calliper changed
still of on no4 cylander(which i am told its def not a wiring problem and def ecu)
rear lowering springs not fitted
no new lamda sensor
bonnet catch not working
bonnet dented (done in the garage)
oil stain on front seat (done in the garage)
oil stain in boot (done in the garage)
door trim missing
slash guards from under the engine missing
centre caps missing of front wheels
NOT IMPRESSED ATOLL!!!
i pick it up and he tells me no4 still not firing and all compressions are perfect and gives me his trade plates to drive hame which he says will not do it any harm.
next day i phone saditas cars in ayr and explain everything and put his finger on the problem over the phone.
a wire had rubbed through and grounded on the body work and blew a earth in the ecu.
a second hand ecu is tryed to be coded in but doesnt work. anyway its away getting recond.
whoever was trying to code the ecu had the car running on a computer to find out the compressions are down AGAIN!!!!!!!
what am i to do now????
