His Dad by the way is supposed to be an ex longbridge rover technician !
So you got a rover 75 with a running issue(not firing on all 4 cylinders)
So he takes this head off, doesnt get it checked then refits it. It then runs like a bag of nails, and he then says to his dad, what was up with the rover? His dad replied, i think its got a bent valve son !!
I learned the hard way with my step dad, after lending him cars to use, they used to come back dented or broken. The worst one was my trans am, he managed to wipe out a traffic island and get the car stuck blocking the whole road off, which was the main road into Bedford town centre. I got lumboured with a 3k bill for poilce and recovery vehicles, and a knackered car.
Ive never lent him my own car since !
The thread over there just got out of control, and in the end, you just end up not feeling sorry for the lad.
He texd me on numerous occasions, but he had hardly any money, so he couldnt afford to pay us 2 days money to fix it and recover it. Hence the reason i told him to come out of working hours( no pun intended )
Even that got twisted round, but im used to that.
If i had fancied him, i would have made it known, but i didnt. The furthest thing from my mind actually !
