The titanic has docked…

£1000 here if you’re selling… kesh

Have they properly driven it? As in, tried to make the light come on?
A garage I used to use would ‘road test’ cars about half a mile round the block at 20-30mph.
Then I go and collect it, as soon as I hit the dual carriage way the EML pings back on… 🤦‍♂️😂

I said several times it only does it when you boot it, takes seconds to come on once it gets to 3000 rpm. So yes I would think they have but knowing my luck…….

I’ll let the car idle for 10 minutes and I’ll boot it from their garages entrance, will come on instantly if not fixed.

This is a cruise liner we’re talking about here. Last time someone tried booting something this size, this happened;

this image with that tune from last is stuck in my head 😂

You need to update us whether it's fixed too, I'm already too emotionally invested

Resetting the adaptions won't do anything because it will already have been done after the engine swap. Plug it wouldn't just give you fault for one bank only.

Hate to say it but sounds more like they've ran out of ideas and hoping you take it to then give them a day to catch up with other work, to then re-schedule you in at a later date.

Yep very possible but they know I’m going to be on their backs within 10 minutes of leaving and the car will be dumped back on their doorstep.

I did wonder if they have found a fault which they have corrected due to a error in reinstalling the engine but won’t say so blame can’t be placed.

I guess I’ll find out @ 10.30 😂

Shall we have a sweepstake? 🙃😎

That is another possibility. I suppose you'll find out in a few hours!

Hope it is sorted though.. Nightmare of a situation either way.

 

[Ant1]

It’s back……

Sorted! They were really good today and apologised for being off (explained but won’t post), collected and went out for a rag and it was perfect. It actually drives much better than when I collected it from Manchester.

He said there were codes stored that my and the RAC guy couldn’t read which may be linked to the loom being unplugged from the high pressure pump which may have caused the issue.

Smashed her all the way home with no problems

About 13k which is now the going rate for one. Tbh i would rather have mine with all the work done which includes oil cooler seals, flapper motors, torque converter rebuild, shocks all round, new tyres all round and so on than pay 13-14k and take a chance knowing what they can cost.

Still need to sort parktronic controller and front Sam unit but I’m going to take them apart first and clean up before pumping another 1k into it.

Hopefully trouble-free motoring from here on in! For a bit 😄

 

[Ray Gin]

So can you buy a new PC now?

Less shocks, more footwear, I thought Wallabees went out of fashion 20 years ago?

My car working shoes pal. Well comfy 😁

Car drives 100% better, much less body roll and mega smooth now.

Because people are Mongo's mate, it's one thing that just makes me hurt inside seeing people replace 1 shocker or spring

Weird that. I do all suspension components in pairs for even balance on the car. Arms, bushes, racks ends blah blah. Same goes with tyres.
