Three and a half years ago i gave my car and £500 to a certain person to perform a rebuild.I supplied all the parts (Wiseco pistons,Eagle rods,Cometic Headgaskets,Tomie Cams,Greddy TD 05 18G turbos,Pentroof manifolds,AEM ECU etc etc)Then four months ago i got a phone call from him saying he was having financial difficulties and couldnt pay the rent on his unit.Now knowing from a third party my engine was complete and ready to go in i paid him a further £500.

Well after excuse after excuse i finaly had an email from him last Saturday saying that he had payed the rent up in full and was waiting for the keys and i could collect my car at that time.

Not believing this i made some inquieries of my own and spoke to the unit next door who informed me that the garage had been broken into on two occasions and the tennent when informed could not make the 3 miles becouse he had no transport.

My next move was to contact the landlord who was very obligeing and just wants the unit empty.as the rent has not been paid and he has another tennent waiting to go in.

However i am not alone here as i know of another 2 people who have parts and cars there.

I am meeting with the landlord and the police Friday morning to examin the unit and do an invitory.

I have emailed the said mechanic to be there also but with no reply.

I will keep you all informed when i return on Friday.

Was a few years ago that i used him mind.

Things must have changed.

With a police investigation being carred out into the theft it might be an idea to close the thread at least until that investigation is complete

if steve mochan wants it closing then so be it, but i dont see how this thread will hinder the investigation

thats your call

 

Would like to know what or who the cartoon is aimed at though?

i think some people are too suspicious and are too quick to jump to conclusions

Well, I do think that all has been said and that all now know who is being discussed here. It should be laid to rest, unless of course the Police make further evidence available. I feel sorry for those who have been affected by what has happened but I also think that all blame is not entirely with the subject person. I have no previous experience with this guy apart from what he has decided to publish on this site, of which has been very good info albeit from the Nissan manual. His previous employment from what I can gather was not mechanical, by that I mean from a garage background, so his knowledge was new found and not from previous experience and formerly trained in motor vehicle technology. His very abundant technical replies to many questions put on this forum prabably gave the impression an indepth proffessional background. But surely this would have raise alarm bells when vehicles were in his care for longer say than 6 months. What other garages do anyone know have cars for repair for that sort of time ? Come on now, its a no no. It has all been said here, so lets just move on and accept that some people just aint being responsible, and that goes for both the supposed culprit and the customer.Its ended up being a problem for both.
