well after the fun I had after Christmas

(See here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=42841)

 

have now had the unofficial report from the "garage" that did the h/g back in September. :headvswal

 

they have said that they have checked the h/g's and they are ok. The reason my car cooked itself in the space of minutes was because I had an airlock in the rad.....wtf!!!!!!!! Before I left my parents place I took 20 minutes making sure that all the levels were fine so how do you mysteriously get an airlock while you are driving?

 

They have also said that the big end has gone!! (was ok before) To add insult to injury one of the partners is saying that he told me when the h/g went that really I needed a new engine and that the one piston was cooked -If it was cooked and i needed a new engine why the fvck did they do the job and happily take 1400 quid off me?? :xxx: :xxx:

 

Oh and since I picked it up from them in September I have had an intermittent starting problem which I have put down to a "moody" series 1 ptu. However apparently there are sensors in the cooling system that detect a vacuum caused by an airlock and the car will not start as a preventative measure - again WTF???????????????????????????????? :( :(

 

Are these guys really in LaLa Land and trying to take the pi$$ or what? any help info or support welcomed as I am on the verge of Legal Action and very very very pi$$ed off. :mad:

 

Really love my zed :( and have had nothing but good things said about her by anyone that has seen her so it would be a shame for me to be forced into getting shot (which i really dont want to do ) but even if i do I need to have her running !!!

 

And heres me thinking that maybe just maybe 2005 wont be as stressful as the last year!! havent even owned the zed a year and so far have spent between 3.5K and 5.5K getting things sorted (stereo,H/G!,gearbox,heatermatrix,alarm,etc) and at the moment she is sitting in a garage undriveable....

 

rant over - hope some of you can offer some encouragement to a thoroughly disheartened zedder!! :( :(

Thats terrible mate, can you get a 2nd opinion, maybe

from ryan? Maybe these people are making up billy bullshit

is it peeps from cheltnham that have problems with engines thats you and tattooman FFS

 

really feel for you bud hope this shnit gets sorted soon

The sensor in the cooling system checks whether the car is up to running temperature or not, if not it will put the car in safety boost, not stop you from starting it, or detect airlocks. Its a temp sensor, not mystic meg, they are bullsh1tting bud

Yep - 100%

thought so.. tnx Hugh

if you are in the AA or RAC they will as part of their sevice for a small fee inspect the car and have a top notch Engineer crawl over any work that has been done or said to have been done ,and deliver a full report ,this will stand up in any court if you decide to take legal action the AA especially dislike their members getting riped off

i would first of all get them to put all what they have said in writing - if the worst comes to the worst & you need to go to small claims court then this kind of crap would help prove their own incompetence!

Speedfreak where you at? Ross Road garage Huntley is good with Zeds

both owner and Mec own them and have done most jobs!

Mmmmmmm Never heard of an over temp fault running main bearings out!!!!!

The car would have to be on fire to starve them of

oil!!!!

gruntpa it was them that did it!!!!

Noooooo!
