Default ok finally............

ive had a chance to have a proper sit down lol and theres a few people i want to say a big thank you too

a couple of people on here know i broke down last weds in the middle of leeds in my saph and was pretty much stranded

phoned kenny at msd who told me to check a couple of things, still no joy so called stu on his mobile and he said to check some more things, still not happening, then called paul (graceland) to ask his advice

No sooner have i called him he is on his way to meet me with a few bits and bobs to get me going before last resort of calling the AA,

now seeing as i was in leeds and gracie was in huddersfield he had already drove 20 miles before he met me, fiddled with car (on a busy road) and still nothing so paul pulls out his solid tow bar (oooerrr ) and tows me to my missus house on the other side of leeds.

further inspection and calls to robbie and sticky p still couldnt get it going so then gracie does an extra 100 miles back to hudd and back twice to pick up coils and ignition amplifiers but it still wouldnt fire, with this being my everyday car i was proper shafted,

got on the phone to stu again on the thurs and he said if you get it to blackpool on the friday you will leave in it so a long ride on a flatbed aa truck to stu and kennys gaf was ordered

got to MSD and stu immediatley starts fiddling and finds the fault immediatley and the car fires into life again for a happy ride home lol

long winded i know but i just want to say a massive massive thanks to stu, kenny and most importantly my new best mate gracie lol

if it wasnt for these 3 blokes i would of been proper fucked

cheers guys..................matt

Your very welcome Matt, its the very least i can do for a loyal customer like yourself.

Almost a shame it was such a cheap fix after all that running about you all did.
