car was booked in for 13 dec 2016 dropped the car off fast forward to pick up date don't want to going in to what happened in between long story (moaning complaining making out car had more problems etc wanted to charge me twice as much then original quoted).

went to pick the car up on 13 feb 2017

around 11am paid the remaining balance as I was about to drive off I notice car wanted to cut out under load told lee about it after messing about with various parts etc lee come to the conclusion that it had some thing to do with the alarm I told him it cant be the alarm apart from playing with the engine what other part have we changed aem fuel pump I told him to take it off put the old one back this was around 5.30pm after changing the pump car was working again now am to be blamed for supplying a faulty part any way my young brother who was with me noticed my after market fuel pressure regulator wasn't work told lee who replied that's how it was when I gave him the car so I just left it at that after getting the car back 2 month later my fuel pump packed up so as I was about buy a new one I thought id take a look at aem fuel pump again looking through the web I notice wire wasn't done right so I did the wiring and fitted the pump and now its working fine so I thought id take a look at the fuel pressure regulator I notice a hair line crack on the gauge so I changed that still didn't work digging little dipperi notice it was plumbed in wrong now that's work on 13 july I started the car up I noticed a tapping noise on the passenger side contacted lee sent a video of the noise and this what he said

any way I did a oil change and the noise went away after about week the noise come back contacted lee no response so I just left it at that as I had no plan on driving it in winter after here about lees work recently on here and social media was a little concern so I contacted mike Sanford to take a look at it booked it in for 24 oct 2017 when I went to mikes place he notice the loud tapping noise so I told him I had some work done by mr lee ie timing belt kit plenum gasket powder coating rocker covers throttle body dump vale etc so we started of with a smoke test found 4 leaks big one in lower plenum one on the back of engine ( which was the main reason I took the car to lee in the first place )and now we got both dump vale leaking and a pipe under the passenger side throttle body.

so by now alarm bells were ringing check the deletes his done and the water by pass not do right timing belt idle pulley wasn't use one is new one is old than we started on compression test mike took the driver side spark plug off first that the passenger side as soon as we took the cylinder 2 spark plug out found this

looks like sand on the plug we did the compression test result cylinder 1=170psi 3=170psi 5=170psi 2=100psi 4=140psi 6=100psi so as you can see I got a broken engine contacted lee with the finding giving him a chance to put things right got this reply from him

so now mr lee doesn't wanna now unless I pay him to do the work I already paid him for

Ok Gents I think this thread has served its purpose and anybody else who has problems with Lee Dent can start a new thread as this one is now closed. Thank you all for your input.
