I'd tell them to fcuk off.

That a bloody good point!
She made the mistake of selling to a friend though!
I've told her to sacrifice the friendship for the cash
Has anybody got any idea how much it should cost to fix though? Garage say worse case scenario to take head off and re-tap is 500? surely you could pick up re-conditioned 1.2 engine for that!

I bet they've tried changing the plugs, and fcuked up putting the new ones in.

there is no way for her to know this though.
I still say sold as seem, tough s**t.
They even went and put new brakes all around knowing about this problem, even put Renault one on, paid over £300 and now wants my sis to take the car back and pay for the breaks!

Tell her she shouldn't be paying for anything! She sold em the car its her problem now!

Isn't there a chance of crap getting into the engine if you do this without taking the head off? It's a 1.2 16v

Not sure its wise to question Fred's judgement, he knows all :hail:
Also i imagine your sister never changed the spark plugs herself (she's a girl) so:
1) How whould she know there was a problem.
2) They were likely last changed by a garage in which case tell her "friends" to take it up with them!
As said by loads of people " Sold As Seen " . These friends need a slap!

totally agree with you on the points, but i'm curious about cost, just so she knows.
Its not the type of thing you just find out randomly so they must have been pissing about with it. Tell them to shove it!

Cheeky c***s, tell them to get fucked. It's not her problem now!
a thirsty one
i had my old 106gti helicoiled in situ, think it ws about £50ish
they insert an airbag i think into the top of the cylinder and inflate it, then insert the new sleeve and thread and then blast all the s**t out with compressed air i think and then remove the airbag from the sylinder, plug back in and jobs a good un.
i cant be exact on the price as i had it done with some other work but i know i remember thinking it was good value for money.
tbh sounds like they have done it though and whoever did the plugs for the new owner as a favour has made a mistake and wont admit it and blames previous owner.
