many thanks to ian g
 

thanks to ian g i took out drive 24 recovery a couple of years ago and today had to use them for the first time.

on my way to work this morning i pulled in for petrol payed for it got into the car and it would not start , (no i did not put the wrong fuel in)

attempted to start it a few times but no joy .rang one of the lads at work to pick me up and left the car on the petrol station forecourt .

rang drive 24 to sort recovery out and explained i wanted it recovering after i finished work , they fully understood this and asked me to call them when i was ready to get it recovered ,

at 16.45 tonight i rang them explained the problem and they put there services into recovery mode .


ten minutes after me ringing them they called me back and told me a local company had been instructed to recover my car back to my home . after another 5 minutes the recovery company called me and told me we will be with you in 30 minutes .


as i have access to a company van i went back to my car and found a recovery truck pulling in at the same time as me , he loaded me up and took the car home .

car was home for 17,30


all i can say is BRILLIANT .

thanks to ian g and drive 24 recovery .

o and it was the camshaft sensor that gave in now repaired and car running again .

I can see the Holland trip being entertaining :D :getmecoat:

Well Paul, here is the delightful message I received from Andy Willi


The man is an incompetent, end of story, I have personally repaired six of his bodged "repairs"

You deleted the pictorial evidence of his incompetence, and like so many times before the "club" chose to look the other way while this complete knacker wrecked car after car, nothing to do with the fact that traders fees were involved.

Personally I don't care if you ban me Paul, I've had it up to the back teeth.

So you can stick that in your pipe and smoke it

Brian :mad:

Why do you say that Andy,

Oh! Hell why didn’t I think of that.

It's all kicking off on here isn't it !

Whilst I may not agree with the very direct approach Brian takes to this issue, I support his comments/sentiments - my car has never been the same since Andy was let loose on it, and I suffered financial loss putting things right after his work. My complaints to Reebs (Paul) about this trader were rebuffed, and the club continued to allow this rogue trader to operate.

I am getting a bit disillusioned with the 75 and, sadly, the owners club. My experiences with Andy's clutch work and the general poor quality of replacement parts that are available for he 75/ZT are making me think of selling the car later this year to make way for a new classic car project (possibly an MGA). I am slowly getting my MGB GT fully sorted with new sills, suspension/brake rebuild and a few safety upgrades (LED lights, headrests etc.), so that might be my daily hack in place of the 75 (also no road tax for the MGB, and cheap classic car insurance).

Cheers

This is why I prefer my 75 and ZT Facebook group, most of the people on here who hate this kind of rubbish are on it.
Too much hate and over moderation on the forum. Whatever the problems are, sort it out like gents instead of catty remarks.

I’d also add that Andy has worked on 3 of my cars numerous times over the years and I’ve never had so much of a single issue with any of his work. He has also gone out of his way more than once to get me back on the road when i’ve suffered component failures.
