oh and it took em 2 fucking months to do so aswell !!!!
i also remember telling you NOT to go there simon,,, and you still went there,,,,, AND to go to MSD,,,,, which yoy refused and innthe end i booked you in and drove you there and back,,,,, and well who did you just take your cossie to when you got it
You got off lightly. EA charged me:
£140 extra for fuel to map my car even though we had "agreed" a fixed price to build and fit the engine.
£30 extra for jubilee clips even though we had "agreed" a fixed price to build and fit the engine.
£1800.00 to fit a GT35 Turbo and external wastegate that I supplied myself!
£600.00 to repair a heagasket after it blew in 3 places at 48psi on the test drive when picking up the car for the new turbo as above
Asked £5000.00 to rebuild the engine when it blew up (and im talking Hiroshima style!) on the test drive after I'd paid the £600.00 for the headgasket above. This £5000.00 was allegedly cost price to do me a favour!! Datalogging revealed 52psi of uncapped boost.
Dont forget the £6200.00 "extras" bill they gave me when I picked up the car at the original engine build. The list was almost farcical.
So when you go to EA.....the bill is not the bill. It is the pre bill of the draft bill of the proposed bill.
I since call Paul Hills "More Bills".
