Ok i needed a set of lifters, i sorted them and me and a mate fitted them, done correctly.
Next, it was in need of a new starter motor..
Right basicly, i sent my car off to this friend of a friend who apparntly.
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Anyways, the car wouldnt fire and he got it going after 10min of starting it. Well he then went out and again it wouldnt start. next i got told i needed a new metering unit, so i phone a mate braking one and asked '' when was the metering unit taken out'' when was the car last running and was they any problems? running wise. metering unit was tested and Perfectly fine. i get a phone call saying ive done some re-wires and also got it starting everytime on the click. Now i drove it home, it never had a missfire before and now it wouldnt even get past 2k before it started to splutter and missfire real real bad. i got it home and gave it a wash before it was time to keep it off the road for a bit while its winter, i drove it onto my drive and gave it a clean, it wouldnt start at all. Now, i had to CALL someone else and pay them for the extra work, which he should of done, no fuel evening getting in so im unsure how the heek he got it back,
Told it needs a hole rewire because its fucked my relay, which he has gone, we got the valt meter out and check whats flowing to the fuel pump, not even enuff to that would prove its the fuel pump or relay, the relay was burnt out to fuck, so to check what was needed i rang norris up and he advised me how to check, we got it finally running, and then it was noticed that the metering unit he fitted was not correctly done, also had a fuel leek.
Now this guy whos ment to ''of fix'ed the startermotor'' never actly sorted anything, i asked him to get it going, because i have moved and dont have the room to work on my car, its come back with shoddy workermship. doddy wireing they did, and a missfire.. which wasnt there when i taken it down.
Now, hes said £65 for all the work he did..
But all he did was give me back my car fucked. Currntly not running right and a huge misfire, also my relay has been fine, that was burnt out. norris motorsport charge £140 + Vat + some more for this new rewire.
now the fuel was not correctly put on right and thats means it could well of been running lean, and this could of damaged my car.
Would you pay this guy?

Just what my dad said.
just wanted some more advice. Running lean = My engine.
I asked him to sort this starting problem. I got it back worse than it was, and had to get someone else out to sort it.

off to norris for a engine strip down and a full re-wire from them!!!!!
didnt correctly put the fuel lines on the metering unit causing it to run lean when we had a fuel pressure reg later fuel Diagnostics.
and he still thinks im going to pay him LMFAO... i told him i'm going to pop over with the rebuild cost ''if its damaged anything''
could of been my own fault i taken it too a nob, when apparntly he has worked on cosworths and all the RS family for 32 years..

if it didn't run then you won't have an issue with it running lean ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
but on a more serious note, i'd have words with the friend to tell his friend that he won't be getting fuck all from you and if you were one of these naughty lot, you'd be going round his house with large individuals and breaking his fingers until you removed £140 worth of bother from them
think of it as a lesson learnt and don't bother with the hassle though, seriously, it's not worth it for the sake of a few hundred quid, even if you don't have it, been there, done that, got pissed off and it did nothing but give me a headache every time i thought about how my "mates" were making me look like a mug AND then telling me that they were doing it for a bargin price![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
cunts the lot of them

do you wanna know why it didn't run? there re-wire or bodge job which has some how caused the fuel pump relay to burn out, wasn't like that before when grunter popped around.. knows the Norris lot and his fords.
And there wasnt one bit of fuel getting into the engine, somehow they have burnt out my hole relay wirining and we tested it with the valt meter(sp) and its not even showing 0.1 of current. Now, after norris advised me to go and do this to check if the fuel pump primes and starts it worked. that = to new re-wire and a cost of the fuel relay, not sure on the cost norris charges for the relay but i was advised its about 140+vat,
And when we got all the kit to check the fuel on a run, its found that its running lean..
![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/angry.gif)
Lets just hope the internals are now not damaged. oh and the metering unit was wrong, so not enuff fuel going in, his doing, not the metering unit, as spotted.
if i was the type to go down and kick him in i would, and i feel like it, but i've gorwn up since then and learnt its not the best way to deal with it.
its going to spend its next life time at norris. and norris only.
Its like saying its ok to go to your nearst quickfit to have some new tyers on your car and 5 miles down the road Mr plod pulls you to find they are not legal. bold, now thats just the same here.
i ask for it to be fix'ed it comes back with more problems.

aha, i understand now perfectly, i was thrown by your "i drove it home at no more than 2000 rpm's" thing
in which case, go and knock on his door and tell him, politly, that anything that's gone wrong will be coming out of his pocket, not to mention the costs racked up so far
too many chancers who think they know what they are doing but think they can get away with it
what was wrong with him saying "sorry mate, i think soemthings gone wrong and i don't have the ability to fix it?" t would have cost a lot less to have some dented pride than a dented wallet

my lifters(cams) was ranttling rather bad, we removed the cover and noticed that one of the followers were not tight, anyway thats what caused the rattle, it started to rattle real bad and i switched it off soon as.. like 56yeards infact google says, got the new lifters in ect and then it wouldnt fire, checked the normal lot like spark fuel ect. dry as a bone.
got it recoverd to him and some how it started, it needed a new starter motor which i paid for, same with metering unit.
i got a call saying its running and fine, i got down there and crank it up and it did strugle to start, like i say it wouldnt boot, and it wouldnt go past 2,000 revs without it spluttering and missfire. i put half a tank of super unleded from BP like its always had, and drove it less than 12miles. put it on my drive and gave it a quick clean, went to move it from my drive to where i park it, limited space and its not my house, would it fire nope,
i did notice a burning smell inside, my fuel pump relay was hanging down,
![Confused](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
![Confused](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
and its been fine up unitl that day, we Tq up everything with the cams and cover balts. so they was done right and was checked aswell, so i know its nothing on my lines of work.
they only reasson i sent it off was because i cant go striping down my car as first i dont have the room and seconds i had to move back into my pertants due to redudancy and i respect there seroundings and them and not to do alot of work like strip down it, otherwise i would of done the work myself.

thanks for everyones advice, im a nice guy and i dont rip anyone off but when they dont do the job asked and its come back worse and been checked by specialists it proves my point £65 pound isnt much at all but i dont see why i should pay for someone to fuck my car rather than do the job requested.

no a starting problem.
which was due to something i couldnt figger out without striping it down,
i got a starter for him to fit to make his life easyer as i did had a problem with it before and knew a new one would work so a 5min job doing a starter as ive done it road side before with selected tools and in the dark
but it went in with starting problems and came back with fuel problems due to him fucking it up and missfire and still starting problems that ive had to get someone else out to sort.
you cant really go wrong with a starter, 3 wires and 3 balts

right lets state the facts.
1. Car started making bad engine noise bad vibrations etc, as told by you si, which u did once say to me it could be a missfire but u wasnt sure.
2. The car had a dodgy starter motor and the whole time you have had that car it has run shit and always had a starting problem, IE no fuel getting through properly. Also the fuel pump has never ever primed when u first turn the ignition on, i,ve had 4 mk4`s and everyone of them has the few seconds pump prime when the ignition is first turned. So straght away thier is a problem thier.
3. When i removed the relay back when u was living in clifton it showed signs of being burnt and i told u this.
4. The job that was done was a new starter and he suspected the metering head needed replacing now he didnt say it definatly was that, he said it was totally ur call whether to replace it or not. And you said yes.
5. He carried out the work which was, new starter, and replace the metering head. The only wiring that pete touched was ur dodgy wiring leading to ur starter motor, put a new terminal on. As for the fuel pump relay that was taken out to be checked and was burnt before any work was done as i saw it with my own eyes and i dont lie, unlike some. Now the only test pete did was to bridge a wire across to see if the pump primed, which it did, so that was that. the wire was taken off and the relay put back in place, and i notified u, that u would need a new relay at least.
6. Once the metering head was fitted i notified u that the fueling wouldnt be correct as pete doesnt have the equipment to set up correctly, so u was advised to take ur time in it until u got it set correctly. Now i managed to drive the car to your house ok taking my tme as i came to pick u up in it, u then took me home but didnt drive it the same way as i did, IE doing exactly what we told u not to do. Now my guess is that u have been driving it like a tool while not setup correctly which is in no way anything to do with myself or pete.
7. The job was done to the best of pete`s ability and this guy isnt shit as he has worked on every car i have owned in the last 4 years and his work has always been 1st class, he doesnt take the piss and doesnt over charge, hes done engine changes for me wiring looms u name he has done it for me and i have never had a problem, so obviously ur car has always had somekind of issue as this must be the case as its bin broke more that it has been running. Now whats the point in tryin to lay the blame on someone else when the car is fucked and always has been, u,ve had dodgy guys look at it in the past and they have caused ur damage my friend not pete, now how many times did the headgasket go after u got that guy in rud to fix it who didnt know jack about rs turbos ?, who rebuilt the engine ?. And now some guy does a job and the car still doesnt run right as it didnt before u want to put the blame on him for all the dodgy garages that worked on the car beforehand and fucked ur engine and probably ur loom. Aint happening pal
I rest my case

I rest my case
1) The car never made any such vibrating, i never stated that, I knew my problem and that was down to a set of lifters, the car drove fine but rattled. Once noticed and replaced the car wouldnt start.
2) I've owned the car nearly 4 years this year and 3 years in never had a starting problem nor did the fuel pump prime, Nor does a few RSTurbo's i know of, standard relay and fuel pump. and the car has had a few problems starting end of this year, no other starting problems other than my own when playing which i sorted!
3) The Relay was fine when we removed it at clifton because John, Mike with the corsa turbo who built my engine correctly was never burnt, never has been, we swapt you're relay for mine, simples. AND IT STILL DIDNT PRIME.
4) No you called me saying that the metering unit needed replacing, So i paid for one. thats correct because i trusted he knew what he was doing.
5) The Fuel Pump Relay was perfectly fine when i got to the car when i tryed to start it, first time around to run the car at 2,000 revs before the lifters where replaced.
6) I have spoken and had words with a fuel people, if the car was running lean or too rich then the engine wouldnt A. start = Running too lean B. Over fuel like a basted. But hold on here, he replaced the metering unit which was not setup correct, but it wasnt even done right, and now i have a fuel Line leak from the fuel filter and the metering unit.
7) I wont bother replying as you're clearly contordicting yourself.
Now the facts... before i pop out for a Smoke.
A) I asked him to sort the FIREING PROBLEM, the engine cranked over with the starter motor which I was going to replace but you told me he would get it cheap. Cant really go wrong with a starter and i asked him to do the job of getting the car running and correctly running.
B) He told me it was sorted and it was running fine, starter everytime. Now, when i got it home it wouldnt FIRE up, again i had to call someone else out because you didnt give a toss that my car wouldnt fire up, and never replyed to what i asked.
C) The metering unit was looked at by a company! a Tunning specilist, which was found to be in correctly plumbed up, never mind a fuel leak like a dripping tap.
D) The car was running lean because the job he did was shappy like the conection you did, you told me i needed a relay but that was perectly fine, now after i had a auto electriction out and they checked what was what they told me there would be no way of useing the wirining loom, of course thats burnt out, it stunk when i drove it home and you said it was fine,
![Confused](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Now onto how good pete is, i called someone else to get my car running, because there was no fuel getting to the engine, only drove it less than 12 miles and its fucked up after i asked someone to sort the job.
Once this said person come over after 8pm at night and missing his Xfactor, and leaving his misess to put his kids to bed because he knew i was pissed off via the phone because you wouldnt reply or speak to pete it taken a matter of a few tests and a phone to Olli norris to inform me of what i should do to get the car running it was then sorted.
Did pete notice this?
Now, i've also had a tunner to pop out and check my fueling and the workmanship as i wasnt happy, he noticed the problems and he told me that even if it was running lean or rich the car wouldnt stutter and missfire like a firework, THIS WAS NOT LIKE IT BEFORE,
So you tell me, its gone in, come back with the problem i asked him todo, and also come back with a missfire, leaking fuel line, stutter and wont even go past 2,000k.. and all i did was drive it back, and had to drive it home at less than 30mph to keep it off boost.
I have everything i need, i have reports from a specilist, i also have 3 sets of eyes, are you going to call Norris & The other independant people a lier?
The simple fact here is, it went in with a starting problem, he got it going with the starter motor on on drugs, so that proves it wasnt the starter, he replaced some parts and then when you told me it was NOT RUNNING YOU WAS GOING TO FIDDLE with it some more, and then told me its running fine, you told me you messed around with some wirers...
He cant be that good if he didnt even put a valt meter on the fucking fuel pump,
Like i say! If hes got a problem tell him to come around! But lets face it, its not me you should worry about, its my dad, your lucky enuff really because he was there, hes had RSturbos hes had Escort cosworths Saffs ect and knows some stuff, but hes troght me to LEARN myself, how else. And he noticed problems right away with what was done, and he was going to drag me and the car down to petes and ask what the fuck was going on...
Say what you like, but dont come onto here stating something!
I didnt even need to writte this, it taken him 1 week to get it running! not correctly or anything, and came back worse, and one man did the job in 5 minutes! shows who knows what and who dont.
Go off to QuickFit and get a brand new set of tyers! But dont fucking moan when you find they infact but bolds on! im 150% sure you will kick off!.......
![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
They got the story which is a setp by step quide to what happend, they all agree with me, and thease people on here know there fords, and know what is what, i dont Lie, 21years letter and i would never lie, i dont like liers and i dont like people who try take me for a cunt, im not a cunt, but i do say cunts are sure useful.
As Merkit says! SIMPLES
OH and one more thing to put the incing on the cake as im gaging for a fag,
I'm a lier? I take it you are fine to sell me a doggy ECU at 80£ Which you stated was a chiped ECU, Which infact was A FUCKING STANDARD ONE ,COSSIESTU gave one away like that!!!!!! wanna come collect that or do you want it through your fucking window? i left that one because i didnt wanna fall out with you, but this time me and you have hit the line between the belt!
Oh and one more thing while im on a roll. Ricky Says: Facts are a true statement! i dont see where you have stated any facts!
Peace Out Bruda!

look si i know the history of ur car thats all i need to know, as for the ecu i bought it off ebay and was told it was chipped, i didnt pull it open to find out, but it made a direrencee to my car maybe that was to down to the original ecu not working. I,m just pissed off that ur accusing people of doing something they haven`t, now if norris had checked the car before it came down here, then checked again when got back and found a problem then u would have a case, but he didnt and u dont. At the end of the day I did help u out, i ran u around to get parts for ur car, i fitted the lifters for u, i did what i could to help u find somone to get the car down here and i found u someone that i have never had problem with ever, to do his best to fix the problem. Now me and u are finished after this i thought u were a mate but instead of talking to me like a mate and trying to work through this problem u insult me. It just sums up the person u are. Ur pissed off, i,m pissed off.
i'll leave it at that bruda

I sent the car to him understanding that he knew what he was doing, you told me he knows fords like cooking some beans, but infact the cars come back worse than it went in, and you really think im happy to dip and pay? im not stupid,
You wasnt there when i brought my car, nor was you when i got it rebuilt, nor was you when i had some HTlead setup problems that you didnt figger out i did.
i suppose i should be jumping in joy singing halloya, and giving him a tip, but what did he do?
What you dont relise is, the people who have looked at my car after the work have commented on such things, have noticed, and they have been around the ford secen for a long long while. and know what they know...
Dont claim that ive insulted you, and that your pissed off, because its not you that has to spend over 140£ on a rewire, not you that has to send the car to BE DONE RIGHT THIS TIME, when i asked for a job tobe done.
and its not you thats off the road..
Cars have problems thats correct and RS Turbos are very tempermantal, but when you ask someone who KNOWS THERE SHIT, to sort it and it dont come back right, otherwise i would of asked a 12year old to mess around with it, and then you send it off and PAY this person, for 12miles later it not start, when i clearly asked him to get it running correctly and working right, he didnt do that...
i suppose people get ripped off, because there not honsit, you may of brought it from ebay, and you also though it was a chiped ECU, but it takes a matter of 10min to open it up to make sure, you're not ripping a mate off.
Now that is personaly a fucking wating to happen.
you didnt state that oh it may not be otherwise ill of taken it to be chiped!
and yet you've still not offerd to fund me back something, or say sorry dude but i didnt relise and sort it out, yet you didnt seam botherd.
you made me out to be a robbing cunt on a other forums, and people commented knowning i was no longer on that website, and then this gets link, i feel for you... but lets state it here.
wont be seeing anyone but a tunning specalist. what you really dont relise is, i spent my time working balls out to fund my engine, and worked from 6am till 10pm to have the engine done right, like everyone else, and then comes back looking like that... after all the time i spent on the car, i get workmanship looking like that.
Like i say we can sit on here all day (im happy to because im on here alot) if pete wants his money tell him to come see me, but c'mon you really think ill have the money waiting, you really have got me wrong.
Oh and i find my car even looked at, or even touched, i warn you now, if he fancys coming over to trash my car, please remmber what hes doing, pre warn him because if there is a single bit of a mark on that car, I'll just say now... Good luck to him..

he does know his shit, how come he never fucked my cars up then, do u think that i said to him, pete fuck it up even more, no coz i tried to help u and i wouldnt do that to a mate, u know me better than that si, Why would i open up the ecu to check we`re talking 3 or 4 years ago now, it was my first rsturbo, the guy told me it was chipped i paid £150 for it so i was stung if it wasnt chipped, i didnt have much knowledge of these cars then so why would i open up the ecu i wouldnt of known what to look for. The thing is, he didnt ask for much for the job, he didnt finish the job coz u couldnt afford to pay him for what he had done so far until the following week, and u wanted it back asap, he didnt have room for it on his drive as he has many cars to do, so i moved it to my house, i told u it wasnt running great from his house to mine, the only thing i did was to put that temporary connection on the wires leading to the sensor on the metering head because they were loose, no other wiring was touched by me. Now i told u that connection was not brill and needed sorting so why bring that up like i did a shit job, i did a temp fix until u got that done properly. When i started it and yes it started for me everytime, i was genuinly excited for u that it was running, as it wasnt before, i then rang u and told u, on the phone to u i then turned it off and started it again, and it fired straight back up, i know it wasnt running the best but it was running, and u could get the setup and other bits sorted once u got it home. I mentioned to u about the relay wiring on the way back up to u, now if we had fucked it why would i of said anything to u, i would of left it. If u had a problem when u got home u could of rang me and we probably would of sorted something out, i can understand that u were pissed coz it still wasnt running right, but u should of spoke to me first. Wot more could I have done for u, I did my best to get u help, i helped u myself best I could, i helped u push it down that fooking hill that some tool said, (lets push it down a hill)(Not Si), and i sat with u while we waited to get towed back up, i could of fucked off and left ya but i didnt coz u was a mate, and mates dont do things like that.

7. The job was done to the best of pete`s ability and this guy isnt shit as he has worked on every car i have owned in the last 4 years and his work has always been 1st class, he doesnt take the piss and doesnt over charge, hes done engine changes for me wiring looms u name he has done it for me and i have never had a problem, so obviously ur car has always had somekind of issue as this must be the case as its bin broke more that it has been running. Now whats the point in tryin to lay the blame on someone else when the car is fucked and always has been, u,ve had dodgy guys look at it in the past and they have caused ur damage my friend not pete, now how many times did the headgasket go after u got that guy in rud to fix it who didnt know jack about rs turbos ?, who rebuilt the engine ?. And now some guy does a job and the car still doesnt run right as it didnt before u want to put the blame on him for all the dodgy garages that worked on the car beforehand and fucked ur engine and probably ur loom. Aint happening pal
Who has done what you say? Lets go here. I'm rolling.
Engine was built by sevs.co.uk
with forge pistons and set of steal rods.
new crank worth over 1,200
hole bottem end rebuilt and blanced, tested and job was done.
Fitted by someone whos built a corsa turbo thats running over 500 with 100shot of nos and has grass tracked and been in the motorsport for over a good 5 years, since he was young.
How many garages has it been in, lets count.
A twat that blown my Hg and removed my ECU vacum, that would cause a timming out and that blown the gaskit, as I, him didnt notice this ENGINE TUNNER i had a bad ruinning in with, removed the vacum and placed it else where, was replaced and the head gaskit is PERFECTLY STRONG.
Its been down to gorden, a other tunning specilist and been to norris and they both have stated its MINT.. its running a good figger of 192bhp with 280Ft, its a strong forge engine..
I didnt build mine myself as im not an engine builder, just because you'res had wiris you use for hole hold products, terminals you use for behind the light switch of a house mine shouldnt.
what we have here is, a case of jelly taters...
You can insult anyone! Even a tunning specilist, but you wouldnt be very amazed at what Gorden has produced, what Oili does, Carl norris, and other engine specilists.
yet you still think ive taken it to hunderds of garages,
You've own an RS for a matter of a year, yet the people who have looked at mine have been building cars since they was young, and know there fucking shit.
So dont tell me your man Pete who infact was a fitter, not a tunner, nor clever couldnt even bloody put a valt meter within the fuel pump.
WapTsh!!!!
My job here is done, NOW I SAY CASE CLOSED
I'm simon colton, and im AM! Pasionford Attention Seaking WANKER!..

OH DONT LIKE THIS I WONT START, left on my own to SORT the fucking problem PETE was Asked todo, not only that, i have to resort in a call out charge, Yes it was only a coffee and yes it was dark, but this guy knows my RS, and knows Plugs HTleads and everything else from normad was sorted for me, and walla! he sorts it before he even finished the coffee i made him, and was still boiling hot.
So pete you call is that good, He never even sorted FUCK all apart from fucking it.
Like saying, mines fine lar lar, blar de fucking blar but yet he still didnt have the brain to check the fuel pump.
Gosh Let him build the next F1 Meclarn engine! << This mans a fucking
Geniuses
If you didnt take any of that as a sarcy comment, then hell you need to read again!

Interesting read there.
This could go on for a few pages yet.
Lesson learnt, dont pay him and never use him again.
One thing tho,that Meerkat reference is fucking annoying.
Its been done to death,leave it alone please.

how many times did i say, he didnt have the equipment to make it run sweet, and yes ur right hes not a tuner thats why he didnt attept to tune it, just told u it needed putting on proper equipment for setup. End of the day, it got trailered here, it drove back theirfore he did his job, he got it running. That is what u asked for. Like I said how could he get it running sweet without proper equipment. He just got it running. On my drive it seemed fine and when i drove it afterwards it wasnt brill but it drove and u knew this, but still wanted it back. He had the car running on the shitty starter, so u knew it wasnt that, but then it wouldnt start again. Changed the starter and the meter head, same thing started one min then not the next, sorted them wires, seemed to be a bit better and started all the time, but now wont start again. he didnt alter anything on the car other than change the starter and metering unit. Dont pay him i aint botherd its not me that did the work, i,m just telling u wot i know.

I asked him to get the car running correct? are you with me here.
i then wanted him to get the car running correctly. not brake down after 12 miles? still following.
So he dont own a Valt meter? Fucking shit the bed, does he want one for Xmas?
what did i ask and what did i get.
I asked for the car to be fixed and run right, as in start fire up.
i get it 12 miles later and the fucking thing wouldnt start.
i then have to ask someone else to FIX the problem pete was ment to do.
I didnt say he should of Some how Produced a Rolling road, out the ground like a tree
But the facts are
He didnt do his job which was to get it running correctly, Meaning start, fire up right. not brake down 12miles later.
He fitted the Metering unit WRONG.
He somehow produced a missfire, A sutter.
and now it needs a fuel pump rewire because
So what i asked he didnt do, and what he did do wasnt correct.
How many times do i need to SAY that
