Well this post is to sum up would you advice someone to go to SCS
my answer was no and reason was explained but here i go again if you didn't read it ALL
I went to SCS for a tune up
They had a saff the owner could not afford the rebuild and had done 8 miles since the build and just sat there
I said i would buy it just for the Ł3k with a exchange or the saff to the RS500 engine
After this was done the RS500 was driven home
to fine in the alignment place on the way home had a massive leak
i rung SCS as it was so late could only deliver back the next day and did leaving the car
After collecting the car 1k run in and set-up 500 miles later the engine had as Harvey said oil starvation but no reason so the rebuild cost me Ł2k
There is the summary

Do you read your posts before you submit then?

Right so what actually failed on the engine and why did Harvey not fix it under warranty?

what caused the oil starvation!!! your the one who needs to read posts properley!!

bad oil pump? blocked pick up? or did you just pay another tuner that you rate higher 2k to replace things hoping it will cure the starvation

this supposedly better tuner should of told you exactly where harvey went wrong...... IF he did

Oh I was going to book my car in at Grove, SCS can't do what I want.

Maybe I will have to go to Torque of the Devil.

Just need my Fiesta Turbo set-up/checked over to make sure everything is ok.

As it hasn't been done in a while.

SCS are able to do that, but not make any adjustments if they need doing.
