boiler

got vader style front + rear bumper and skirts clear side indicators carbon colour full dash kit il give you first refusal if i decide to sell it :)

The worst part is the £700 of bodykit, dash kit and audio sat waiting for it at home which taunts me every night when i see it :p

hi there Well they kept telling me its almost done.. just a little hiccup.. etc.. until they just turned around and said sorry we cant fix it so i assumed it was nothing major and no thankfully they havent charged me a penny (which is about the only nice thing i can say at the moment!) as it still isnt working but im still awaiting a full diagnosis of what they think is actually wrong and outstanding so i can get in touch with soemwhere like zcentre and get a quote if necessary if it comes to that

Im after a little help First off a little story... Last october due to a radiator leak, my engine overheated and blew what looked like the head gasket and a few of the pistons stopped working. It was at a friend of the familys garage (not a jap specialist with limited 300 knowledge) and being worked on as a background task to keep the cost down. After the first month i was told next week it'll be ready, next week, until last weekened (3 months later!) they turned around and held their hands up and said they cannot fix it. What they have done so far is fix the radiator and replace head gasket but cannot get all the pistons working. The other option when it happened was a 2nd hand enigne replacement at the cost of about £2000 but considering the cost of a replacement car would be about £3000 (then i could sell/resuse parts from mine and it could work out cheaper in the long run) i didnt think it would be worth it and still dont. So what im asking is does anyone have a garage that thinks they might be able to get the engine sorted or can recommend anywhere that might, but as im based in the north east I'd like somewhere up here ideally. The other consideration will be the cost. Im not really wanting to pay out more than £1000 as i have lost a lot of faith in the car and would try and cut my losses if it was going to be anymore. Im not in any rush at the moment to get it done as had to get a replacement car anyway since mines been gone that long, but am aiming for it to be done for the end of march so its ready for the summer and i will also be 25 then so my insurance wil have dropped nicely :)
