leonv Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sorry dude but I also remember that thread, I can dig it out if its still on the system if required. You were at the time made fully aware that the vehicle was less than brilliant (OK it was MOT-able) and were advised to not drive the car, period, until it was finished with. From what I remember of that thread you threw a hissy fit, took the car anyways and quite rightly they then refused to take your car back for further work. The car is now in fastidious hands for sure and I will say one of the most diplomatic persons on this forum. Maybe Michel will win through where others have failed with his inestimable patience and charm?? Can we please move on??? Old story and getting boring now.[ANGRY][/ANGRY] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Matt, Good to see it coming together and I wish you all the best with the supe. Michel and Ian are great guys to entrust your car to and I am sure they will do a good job. They sorted out a few issues with mine a while back and I was very pleased with the workmanship, communication and commitment. Look forward to seeing it done.

paul mac Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 What injectors are they Michel, i may be in the market for some slim line ones as my Rochester ones are a bit fat for a little project i have, nice to see some good FME (foreign material exclusion) on the intake and turbo, we just had a turbine off at work for 9 days, loosing £1m a day in lost electricity generation due to FME in the turbine oil feed system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
