RS500 did he actually build & dyno a engine for you or just fit a engine you supplied then it went tits up? I find it very hard to beleive that harvey built you a engine package then snubbed you when it went wrong ?

Graham,
You're being a bit vague LOL, can you detail specifics and dates etc, as you haven't said even what exactly went wrong?

I don't even know if from what you have said if Harvey built the engine or just swapped things over for you from two different cars?

If he swapped the engine from another car then after 1500 miles it developed a oil leak its hardly his fault? if he supplied you a engine fresh off the dyno & it done it im more than sure he would have came good

When was this, as Harvey still can't remember it at ALL?

What headgasket was it?

What failed on the engine?

You're being so vague and he wants to try and remember the story, so he can try and get to the bottom of it?

Martin,
I don't think Graham is being deliberately difficult, just that he doesn't use punctuation, which can make it VERY hard to read .

However, he COULD be more specific I'm sure .

Paul - sorry to keep calling you Graham, but I got the two names muddled up from when you and Graham were at the Ring that time - my excuse is you were joined at the hip, so it was hard to tell you apart .

You might find Harvey would be willing to do something if he knew what it was he was supposed to have done wrong in the first place , but as you don't seem to want to try and clarify, it makes it very difficult for him to even remember what the score was .

In my experience, if Harvey has done something wrong, he is the first to put his hand up, as in this game, your reputation is everything. It's only when the car has gone elsewhere and been fiddled with by others or the owner has fucked up in some way, that he is obviously reluctant to then get involved.

If you refreshed his memory of the case in question, at least he / we could see if what you are saying is fair?

I dont think anyone would disagree with that but you don't seem to be giving the info to backup what you have said about Harvey's service!

As you may know I have been on the thick end of something similar recently but I am not shy to tell the facts!

Listen pal, YOU mentioned spending £40k in the same post as slagging off Harvey, making it look like Harvey took £40k off you and treated you like a cunt, thanks for explaining that he hasn't, now perhaps you could explain exactly what it is he did..

As for my username, its a bit of a joke about an average middle class white male, described by the press as ' Mondeo Man' I happen to have one in the household at the moment, along with 3 other cars but the username has been before it and will remain afetr it.

You may have two cars and attempt to be 'superior' to me, which is fine, if it makes you happy and feel better but at least I haven't spunked £40k on two old fords that never work properly

I must be retarded. You make no sense at all, you bought an engine off harvey that blew up and he told you to fuck off is that correct?
