stealthxr6trbo Member 46 Member For: 12y 8m 26d Gender: Not Telling Location: orange Posted 16/02/14 03:37 AM Author Share Posted 16/02/14 03:37 AM thanks 4 the advice mate : )iv got the original quote on email.. and the f*cked up invoice also on e mail.. He didnt give exact time frame, but f*ck me dead houses get built quicker!after the original quote was sent , wich I was happy with, he would ring me and say , "mate u want your engine painted?" yeh ok. but how much. his reply "ah dont worry we will sort it out". hey mate ya need a bigger intercooler and plenum .. ok but how much, he would say "umm not sure but we will sort it out".. .. if I had of known that him sorting me out meant jamming a pole up my arse then I wouldn;t have gone ahead with these extra bits.. Plenum 1600 from memory , intercooler 3grand!!! , f*cking candy paint 1200!!! and so on ...to be honest I would have lumped the extra cost and put it down to another life lesson learned., but then when I paid the money took my car and it still wasnt right , then had to give it back and wait another month and who knows how much longer , well that was the straw that broke the camels back..but I dont wanna say anything bout fair trading till I get it back , otherwise he may try being vindictive and putting metal shavings or who knows what in it ..I appreciate all the replys guys.. just fumming hard right now, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85458-xr6-2007-bf-mk2-engine-go-boom/page/2/#findComment-1455663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont live anywhere near the area, but once you get your car back, it would be nice to name the place so others dont fall into this trap as well.It sickens me to think that there are still places out there still operating their business with no accountability! Good luck and hopefully she comes back okay. If she is not returned operational as she is meant to be, take it to a reputable place to fix it up and then sue said place off their arses. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85458-xr6-2007-bf-mk2-engine-go-boom/page/2/#findComment-1455668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the place I'm thinking of though there is next to no chance they are going to help you in any way.
