Scott Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Bloody hell!! Who did the build? Do you have any warranty on the work carried out? Sorry to see this mate, it isn't as if you haven't had it hard enough up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 toyota gt done the build and i will not be taking it back to them! there will be no warrenty and the guy is a nob! plus i wont see my car for another year if i did! so realistically whats my car worth? i want a car thats non turbo and cheap and not any thing i can be tempted to mess around with. nice looking bmw or sumit! really need to get my life back on track and start doing things the easy way!

tooquicktostop Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Jesus that car is jinxed, it reminds me so much of my Black single and the problems it gave me, some cars just never seem to stay reliable, regardless what you spend You need to take a step back, I was rash when my turbo went after 800 miles and I put it up for sale for peanuts, I got peanuts as well, silly move You need to get it to a tuner and find out what is wrong at least, then decided what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Jesus. Sorry to hear that mate. You've had a nightmare with that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I would seriously speak to legal rep and consider action against the garage in question, as there has been a good few issues with this car which you should get corrected at their expense.

Branners Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Until you know what has gone pop I wouldnt make any rash decisions. Find a trader on here that you trust to look it over and then decide what to do. I went from single turbo back to a stock Supra as I didnt want to face a big bill if it all went wrong. Never been happier. So get it looked over by a trader or somebody in the club who knows what to look for and then decide the next steps.

JustGav Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 ... and you're not the only one to have this problem. Indeed, perhaps it is time for those who have fallen foul of their work to stand up together and get compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 it may be your word against theirs, but you have a broken car to back up what you are saying, one they should be fixing and giving you a warrenty. Even trading standards will tell you that everything purchased regardless of what the garage says has a 12 month warrenty. Don't give up, its a lot of money and you need it back.

Branners Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Make sure nobody on here ever uses em. Boycott em. They applied for trader status and got rejected. I would have hoped that was sufficient indication of problems..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Sorry to read this but as said don't get hjasty, take a step back and see whats gone wrong first! Are you running a non standard oil cooler ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Im with Gav on this. Don't loose heart too quickly. Get some legal advice, also do a bit of digging and see if you can find someone else who has had problems with the company. You may find out there are a few unhappy people out there. But just dont give up mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 On this forum we promote good traders, and point people in the direction of good work......can we legally have a section of reviews of bad traders so we know not to go there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
