well the 3 main annoyances have been,

Things not put on ready for me to just insert the engine into the car (due to a box of my bits being lost while in their possesion. Causing me a lot of pain and trouble.

Things like oil filter housing not being on causing me to lift engine back out a bit to put it on.

and the fact that they are a very awquard 15-20 miles away going accross main m 25 roundabout. And they made me tow it to them Just to tell me it was not done enough for them to keep it there (even though i explained what needed to be done on the phone) thus making me have to take a day off to tow it all the way back again.

I had a call a day before it was finished saying all was looking good and that we was under budget at that point. £6100 to be precise (that included cost of cams and £400 head gasket. They informed me that all was left to do labour wise was put the head on and put the cams in. I was absoloubtly over the moon.

Anyway get a call the next day saying i needed new followers and they also fitted the double valve springs i requested. Excellent then was told the price.

Final price £8553.

£2400 for 2 cams (which could have even been allowed for in first price), followers, valve springs, And putting a head on.

jesus that good money lol.

Well it blew the budget apart anyway.

They are my problems with them which i think are quite justified.
