Track and Road in Rainham.

Depending on what car it is depends on what "tweeks" they can carry out

Dont want to turn it into an official slating post but mainly I payed them over £700 in the end to give me a Omex base map for a n/a Zetec downloaded from the Omex website for free.
MSD remapped the car and told me this as i was none the wiser as the car ran like shit and had terrible fuelling problems and virtually NO cold start map what so ever.

Also MSD couldnt believe they left certain other things they way they did, as certain sensors were wrong, there were air leaks, etc... and they didnt seem to notice even after going back 3 times.

Lesson learnt though, Stu charged me less than half what EA did to sort ALL the problems and give it a proper map and the car runs faultlessly now, so understandably I have 'reservations' about EA now.

an old friend also had a bad experiance, they were adjusting something like his cam timing or something, but anyhow they dropped a small nut into his engine

i did have the 335d booked in for a power run but decided against it

I think any of you that take your car to EA are clinically insane! They (or rather a builder they employed) built me an engine in 2003 an gave me a bill for £20,000.00 (£6,300.00 of which was an unexpected "extras" bill) only to subsequently wreck the engine twice only the year after after they botched a turbocharger installation!! And expected me to pay for their blunder twice!

And they have knackered many of my customers cars and left them to pick up the pieces! Avoid at your peril!!

Wish I hadn't said anything now. I thought it would be okay if all he wanted was a power run.

Sorry guys!
