So now that I'm picking up a half done car from Bedford on Saturday 6th September, I'm back at square one and need to find a reputable garage who can help me out! Engine is bolted in, no fluids and pipe work half back in. Still not mapped and no idea about the oil leaks, I hope they've been...

Thanks to everyone so far who have helped out. I'll just be glad to pick it up next week and forget about it all. i understand why the thread was locked, a lot of hearsay and rumours but no facts at the moment, nobody knows, I'm still in the dark about what's going on! I just know I'm going...

Yeah trying to arrange that now mate, so hard though when there is no phone contact and email replies take weeks. I'm also in the unfortunate position of having no leave left, and month ends being my peak times! Also not knowing if he is actually open or not doesn't help! Police is a bit...

Yeah have a spare key etc, but that's hoping the car is outside. Good idea about the roller but if he's on here regularly then will probably know and not show! Never been (and never want to be again) in this situation before so no idea what the next steps would be.

Wish I knew! He's got my f**king car!!!

Looking forward to seeing the result!

Also, just seen his rolling road for sale on eBay......

Thought I'd bump this one up.... Anyone seen/heard anything?? I got some pictures of progress 2 weeks ago, said my clutch was busted (pics showed it was) paid out and got a new one sent to him. Now nothing. Has anyone got any ideas how I can make sure he's open when I just go up to...

Im not sure on the finer details but just know it can handle the extra power torque, not really sure why! Lol! Small update... Engine was being put back together and back in last week, but as always communication is an issue, goes through stages of good, then nothing. Ill just keep pestering...

Just looked back through the history and the clutch has lasted 5 years, which to be fair is quite good I think, it's had a tough life by he looks of things too!

Would be boring without issues right? That's what I keep telling myself!! Loving the progress though mate

Here's a few pics of the clutch, burn marks and all! Also have an oil leak from the return back to get sump, currently being looked into. Again, bad news, but best it's found now (positive thoughts!!)

i happened to to sport that about 5 mins after I ordered one, gutted! But thanks anyway! I'm just uploading some pics of the duff clutch and some leaks

Not yet mate, but communication has been resumed and m getting regular updates now, so all good, for now. Only downside is I need a new clutch, so a new paddle clutch will be ordered this afternoon!

About £110 for both at euros at the moment I think

Cheers for all he input lads, I finally struck gold earlier and managed to get an email about 2 hrs ago from Dan, however no details on my car. Not for me to go into details, but basically he's out of action and knows the phone is off. I've asked, in his honest opinion if it'll be done by end...

Yes mate that's the one. Reg starts S90, much appreciated as said above!

Thanks Amos - would appreciate that You mean 519 or my constant plea for help/info lol

Hey all, My car is with Dan @ 519 Automotive, it's been there 3 months and this is the 5th week I've not managed to contact him, so getting anxious as my tax and MOT are up in August, so wont be able to get the car home if its not sorted soon! I'm in Kent so a good 2 hrs away, plus weekends...

Looks as though I might taking a very loooong journey up to you soon mate!!!

I know he's good, and he isn't out to rip anyone off, he's very clued up too! Just need a tad more info, as tax and not are now an issue

Understand that totally mate, but a 5 minute call for an update at the end of the day isn't asking for the world, especially when I've been trying for a month lol

No Update. Can't contact garage, no idea where the build is, no idea what's left to do or what needs to be done. Cars been there 3 months, been trying for 1 month to contact them. MOT and Tax runs out in August....then what....no way of getting the car home. Wonderful. My only option now...

I've just left Dan another voicemail, if any member going there soon can just ask him to give me a 5 minute call. I've just realised my tax and mot expire in August, so need an idea when I can get my car, as I wont be able to drive it home otherwise

I stuck my gauges here mate, just mounted a sheet of carbon a glued it flush to where the vents used to be, I think you could maybe fit 3, but I went for 2 gauges and the third on the drivers side vent, can just see it in the pic I think

I'm still trying...no luck yet... Is anyone going there this weekend or over the next few days who could let me know how my car is getting on?! lol!

Very nice mate! What intercooler is that? I like the way its mounted too.

Jolly Good!! I'll keep on trying then....

Cheers guys! I'm glad he's still going as he's got my car lol

Does anybody know where dan is? I've tried all last week and now today, each time not rining and going straight to voicemail. Left messages even tried Facebook. just getting a bit concerned as he's had my car a while now too Any help appreciated!
