Afraid, I have to agree, Is the "boss" the only guy who knows if it runs or not? does he not confide in his staff? do they ever ring you to advise you of their progress. Need to keep the pressure on Andrew.

OOOOOoooo blood boiling time, single malt reqd.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..................................................

Ah thats better

The "Boss" was in quotes as I was referring to the Chief mechanic in their auto diesel department who has been working on the car has taken a day off. Probably one he is well entitled to :lol:

Oh well, Week 8 approaches with the certainty of night following day. Turns up the airbag control unit was not faulty. I suggested the passenger seat connections........

Next week they will try again, they've discovered the problem today, but need to order the part. Sorry guys, did not get the part number etc. Too resigned to my fate to care?:lol:

I admire your tenacity Andrew. I would have scrapped it by now.

Keep going and I'm sure it will be worth it.

JohnDotCom · 27th June 2008, 15:28

...and they couldn't give you an Indication of the fault after all this time?
I do hope the Charges for Injectors and all the rest which were not required are not going to be attempted to be passed onto you.
Any member on here could keep swapping bits in the hope it works,
thats why you are paying er...experts?

Will have to alter to 8 weeks on Sunday.

This must be the longest repair in the History of the club.
All it did was stop running....would never go to Southampton again just in case It was something in the air,

they have tried everything else.

You should get an Award just for your patience and resolve.

Perhaps the Good fairy will fix it over the weekend.

Don't forget to get the part back Andrew, keep it just in case anybody else needs it

Only if the garage pays time and a half!!

And, No, they don't work on weekends

I can't even get to see the car, she's 60+ miles away. In fact I have not really seen her since the day after the national meet!!!

Ce la vie...........
