LMFAOSeriously though guys. I'm going to make this stand, Please never go there, they are wankers who talk out of their arse.It's not over and I'll keep yous posted about these incompetent bastards.p.s I get my car back tommorow cheers Simon.

No point having your car tuned to an inch of its life if its detonating. Just cost you more in the long run!But Simon seems to have tuned your car (and most other fords on here) so your in good hands no doubt! Use good fuel (I always fill up with BP98 that comes from good BP's that have good turnover and seem neat and tidy etc etc)I'll be using Simon too, especially since I've trusted his offsider Mike before I even had the XR :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting a little worried as Mark is now looking at more mods ( mind you after 1 run last nite - weather issue) I was quite keen too except for your experience. Oh well looks like its Mods away.......D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 16y 10m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/01/11 12:15 AM Share Posted 13/01/11 12:15 AM Im always amazed at how many mechanics these days dont actually know how to use a hoist and put your fingers against a flex plate and wigle it to hear the chinging sound of a loose flex plate, I said all along it was a flex plate. The chances of one of these engines letting go at such conserfative boost Is very low.It took 10 seconds to verify what I thought was the issue. Even if u dont have a hoist all u have to do is put it in gear and load it gently, The minute it gets above idle with load the noise will always go away if its the flex plate.Anyways im going to bed, I just got home from work after another 14 hour day lol So if the Flex Plate is the issue can the knocking/tapping/ticking noise sounds like it's coming from the front of the rocket cover?
