PMSL @ the cowboy! VERY TRUE!

I put my trust in this areshole believed the things he was sayin and feel totally fuckin robbed! He lies, bullshits and body swerves any probs that come up.

Jim G, I dont fancy your chances of gettin owt of him, hes gonna dissapear in Ireland somewhere

Paul J, I know what your sayin mate the list I could write down could go on forever I also had issues with fueling, well a fuel pump which was apparently of a Bently cus a cossie one which I asked for couldnt supply enough fuel . He bodged this pump up with a bit of rubber hose which split around five times causing me breakdowns whilst runnin it in, leavin me to get towed, jack the car up, drop the fuel tank and try different types of hose! Finally he came and fetched it cus I was so fucked off with havin to spend my spare time keep repeating this job getting covered in grease and fuel and then wonderin where I'd break down next! God knows if the bit hes put on this time will last. Another job that should have been rectified.

Now I've got another new build but how am I ever gonna feel safe/confident of bootin the fucker!! He recons he got some WRC focus rods for it this time from bluesprint, so my 600 odd quids worth of Burtons steel rods have fooked off!

When I first looked into havin the work done I was given two names, Mark @ BSW and Ian Howell, looks like I picked the wrong bloke! Mark told me not to bother with Ian cus he work for the waterboard or sommat and he was just a hobby mechanic!!!

Hes made me look like a twat to my family and friends too, me keep tellin em that all that dollar was worth it and it'll be back soon. I've been expectin it back every couple of weeks for the last 18 months

Cheers for the response folks, I allmost fucked him off last time I got the car back cus I couldnt be arsed to be without it for months, but couldnt afford to take it to anyone else so let him have it back for final mapping where it let go on the rollers after his mechanic took it there (Mark was on a weeks holiday) ! That was about a year ago, rebuilt it, I run it in, broke down on me again (cant remember why that time) he came and fetched it, loads more probs, mapping finished, I pick it up with the turbo makin a stupid whooping sound break down at M keynes turbo let go big style, another wasted day for me and my mate who took me down there, 2 lots of fuel for mine and mates car, wasted insurance, payed knobhead for more work dumped the car in buspark, he fetched yet again, sent him this mail;

Ello Mark.

Typical aint it!!

We did try to jump start the car to try and get it of the hard shoulder!

Whether or not the ecu got shorted out, who knows?! Its a possibility, the looms a bit of a bodge though really, the main connection to the ecu looks exactly the same as when the last garage did it. I thought I payed for a new loom? The ecu was in a plastic bag though.

If the fuse box is knakered, I do have another here, or let us know what its gonna cost to repair.

I really need to know if the car is going to work when the ecu is repaired though because I'm rapidly loosing my rag with it all.

I think I've been pretty patient and reasonable up to now, but I'm not prepared to keep loosing money on something I've not even used, when really it should have been been ready a long time ago.

The car wasnt ready for me to collect with the turbo making the noises that it was.(whistleing/whooping sound) Also the moment we hit traffic the temp rose to 110 and was still rising when I switched it off and waited for the traffic to clear.(Fan on) I was told the temps were fine with the fan on?

The water hose next to the alternator is also still rubbing and will cause me yet another breakdown if not remedied. The car also wants to cut out at idle with the fan on so more than likely that alternator you repaired is still not doing its job. (had new battery) ACT gauge, fuel gauge etc... State of drivers seat and doorcard, bonnet wrong colour......

You must be getting just as pissed off as I am with the car. I've handed over a fair amount of cash and appreciate that you've worked hard on it and gone out of your way a few times to sort out problems, but it still isnt ready/reliable even though its had all the parts that it should have.

I hope we can resolve this, you must be able to see my point of view? I just want some use out of the car!!

I know time is money but just half hours drivin it in traffic/normal conditions and investigating the turbo noise could have saved us both a lot of hassle and grief.

Give us a shout or an e-mail and let us know what were gonna do about it.

Cheers, Jim.

So basically its been a nightmare start to finish

Washed all the shit grease and grime off the car this mornin to find that whoever painted the bonnet the right colour this time didnt spray the fuckin bonnet vents
Imperial blue bonnet with green vents, hhmmm nice! Oh and the indicator he glued back on has fell off somewhere too!

Right, recon I migh go n get pissed now!!

Please lets hear some more BSW horror stories so I dont feel as bad!
