so the mechanic cancled on me, said he cant stay at garage till 7 today as hes busy. chances are its going to need looking at, i can highly doubt this guy has sorted it properly.

moneys not wasted if i can see it doing something. if you spend 10 hours and i can see youve spent 10hours there wont be any fuss ill hand over money, but as ive found out the worst way possible, the majority of mechanics do fuck all and charge days and days labour. all the money ive spent so far has been a complete waste (apart from actual parts).

i just calculated how much ive spent in the last 4.5ish months...comes up to just under £2000 ! that includes a new clutch, pads, discs, valve , followers, turbo, alternator, starter motor, fuel distributor, rad + rebuild parts (reground crank, gaskets, betls, n the little things missing like thermostat and a million bolts) i can probably bet one of you guys could pick all that stuff up for under £500, which means the other £1500 has been labour! DAMN!

Anyway will let you know sometime on saturday whats happning with it. Dan ill give you a call if i need your help... really want to give up with this car but something is pushing me to finish it...

hows that s1 in your drive going btw? sorted it?
