Really Bad job done at AFR before the change. My Turbos and engine blew up 2 months ago, and finally after forensic examination its purely down to AFR's total negligence. The clues were loose coolant pipes and attachments not bolted down, but bolted in the odd the place. Also missing pipe clamps.

The initial failure was down to old narrow coolant piping that had long since perished. Spending £3,000 on arepair, and they left out bolts, clamps and would not replace a simple 3" small pipe with new.These expanded like sausages and pin hole ruptures meant I was loosing coolant into the front turbo witha fine jet of steam. The over heat was not noticed until it was too late. Steam pouring out under the bonnet, when i raced to terminal 5. Further examination showed the same Turbos oil gasket was the wrong way around, so the larger tube was virtually cut off, with only a1/4 or less of available oil getting through. Exhaust studs completely reamed smooth, so only 2 bolts holding instead of 3. and so on. A thoroughly disgraceful and massively expensive mess.

Why not use the dispute thread if the said trader has failed to rectify the issue?

Tricky though as AFR do not exist

and the subsequent company (although I'm guessing the complaint is not other aimed at them) has had their Trader's status suspended due to the to lack of representation on the forum...ergo he posts in the AFR thread.
