Should have used CW Looms.

lukefrs

hard to tell but you can see the old grubby wire.
the state my engine was left in,
rust setting in on areas from being left outside or something.
all cut wires
the oldloom just thrown intoi the boot well including the modules erc
my Ł450 electronic extinguisher is under all that,i havnt looked at it yet to see if that's scratched or damaged.

if I run a business of this type id treat every car like it was made of fragile glass.
pete at demon performance,now that's a guy that treats a customers car as it should be treated.

series1rscars

Obviously left the car out in all weathers to going by the suface rust in there, on the cam pully's, lifting eye etc ..as it had none when we left it and the engine looked better than brand new as had just come off an engine stand from being built and detailed

lukefrs

or I should buy your car as that is stunning!!!!!!

naturally aspirated

That scratch looks deliberate, although could have happened by a careless third party. But I would be inclined to give the engine etc a good check before you fire it up!! Nuts/screws down the plug holes, glue, sand/paint stripper or whatever in the sump. Better to be safe than sorry. Not saying he would do this, but best to check.

Shocked by all this as I've seen some of his looms and they looked top notch.
Sounds very unlike the Steve I know too, but seeing the pics, that is very shoddy work.

were you given a timescale to do the job originally luke?

lukefrs

two weeks james

timster

Ever used them though? I've just had one of their looms fitted and have had no problems with it.

lukefrs

tbh the car as you can see is mid build so its in abit of a shape and was when it was taken but nothing like iv had it back.
I gave it to him mid progress..... I got it back abused and neglected.

shortie

I had a loom off this guy for our 3dr when we come to fit it the fuel pump relay was buzzing the fuel pump was on all the time & it came with no tags on it to say where all the wires went so i sent it back, 3 weeks later i get an email from him saying he would pay the money back into the bank by end of business on friday 10/5 still no money

Not me personally but my mate yeah ended up with a full refund in the end

timster

Bloody hell,sounds like fraser vincent

lukefrs

its hard to catch it with the rain but the rear bumper has abrasion marks all over that area and dripping down off the tail onto the bumper is like wet bread gone dry??that's the only way I can describe it tbh.like somethings been put on the car and its rained then its dried out???
the engine will be comimg back out and ill go over the whole car,its bacically back to the start for me now.

naturally aspirated

Could have been anything chucked or sprayed near or on it, accidentally or otherwise. Anyway, you have your car back which is the most important matter. The damage can be put right in the correct hands. We constantly live and learn fella. Chin up and get on with the project!

Davey8oy

i feel your pain mate

he priced a full car loom for my mk1 fiesta i dropped the car there, 5 months and lots of lies later, i even dropped in one day he wasnt there and was on the phone to him with him telling me what he'd done as i was looking at the car, he was a tad flustered when i told him i was stood by the car! also was fast to take 700 quid off me and all i was left with was a car full of overspray(some expensive throttle bodies and pro alloy parts) and some shit wiring that went in the bin when i showed gary barker who is now doing the loom! i took it as a lesson learnt and wiped my mouth!

i also had a mate get an engine loom off him and he had to have it modded and the quality was shit! made me look bad!

bad trader so avoid at all costs!!!!

Davey8oy

this was the bullshit i got off him!!! the turning point for me pulling the plug!!!

Morning David,

Right despite my best efforts it’s not going to be finished.

I have 2 lots of parts still outstanding which should of been here last week.

What i propose to do is have you come pick it as as planned and get it back off you once the welding has been done to finish it all off.

Its taken me a lot more time than i expected and cost more in parts than i accounted for, don’t worry your bill is not going up my mistake I quoted you and I will stick to that.

I do need to take some money off you for it before you take it, your outstanding amount is Ł700 of which i would like Ł500 today and then the other Ł200 once it’s finished, I estimate there is 2 full days work left on the car to complete it.

I really do hope that’s ok

Can you call me with an eta please and we can discuss this further if you wish.

All the best

Mark

so to summerise i gave Ł700 and he wanted more money

all i got was a trashed car full of filler dust and overspray and a box of crap wire,cheap fuse box and some fuses and relays!

lukefrs

I cant believe your story mate: shocked:its extreamly close to mine.
I also had phone calls with him saying hes really getting on well and then weeks later he would admit he hadn't even started

could you pm me details on gary barker??is this the guy the done the loomin mks stunning jwrc cossie fezza??

lukefrs

its like my experience all over again!!!!!unreal:shocke d:
I made the mistake of paying him nearly all the money upfront when the car was dropped off.he calledme up two weeks ago saying come and get your car your money is here, foolishly asked him to continue but then after talking to trusted family,two days later I decided it was best to get the car home ,when I called to say id changed my mind id like to bring the car home he told me he had spend Ł700 of the money and I would have to wait for him to try and source it.
a week later I was able to pick the car up.
then was treated like my first post

Davey8oy

yeah thats the bloke mate(gary barker) hes done my engine loom for me and in process of doing car loom

he is a busy man and doesnt do car storage but best you speak to him

plus gary uses dr25 spec wiring which is the top stuff

you tried will pedley he must be closer to you

zetaboostboy522bhp

really sorry to hear this mate , I hate it when people wreck other peoples pride and joy .
what a fucking arsehole and soon as he put his hands on you , you should of battered him.
well lets hope these lads are hanging there heads in shame

don't give up mate and I hope you have good luck in the future

cheers paul

lukefrs

a Raychem loom is originally what I wanted see but mark wasn't keene on doing it,glad I didn't ask for it now or I may have had big problems getting the larger amount of money back.
will pedley is a option I have pencilled down mate yea.
iv seen garys loom on mks thread and the pictures do the talking,its clear hes a professional.
ill gather info over coming weeks/months and go from there.

lukefrs

cheers paul,im sure ill get my ambition back soon and carry on with it.i think ill listen to what my mate adam(guy who picked the car up for me) said and buy some nicey nice bits for me to look at and get back into it.when the postman brings goodies it never fails to bring enthusiasm lol

botters

iTrader: (2)

if i was you i would use will pedley you will get nothing but 110% from will i will guarantee it, he is a top top lad

shame to hear of what has happened i dont know the lads involved personally but have had banter with steve on here and he seems like a real sound guy, he could have just been backing his brother up as any brother would, you dont know what his brother has told him to get him to act that way

lukefrs

think youv hit the nail on the head tbh,i think mark has filled his head with bull and hes acted on false information.shame on mark if that's the case.
I would walk into a 1000 men alone if I was in the wrong and id tell me brother not to even be there.spineless mark

Shocking to read that mate, and as for that Cossie 4i bloke......seen hundreds of threads from him on here and never came across like that so what a total and utter prick trying to intimidate you like that, always looks a big soft fucker to me tbh and definitely not up to those sort of scare tactics
Hate reading things like this where people get ripped off and worse by so called professionals, and happens far too often. Puts you off trusting anyone, why on earth do people advertise a service they aren't capable of delivering and then get nasty when they're found out?
I've rarely had good experiences with so called 'specialists' that i've read about on forums or in magazines etc.
Hope you get someone decent on the case to sort it for you

JOHNDQ

Shocking mate really was the loom needed for a conversion?

Alps Pacino

The problem with this is that everyone will back that cossie4i bloke up cause he is well known on here even if him and his brother are a right pair of cunts people will still defend them.

Adam.

What a fcking bodger! im absolutely shocked.

Rod-Tarry

With those hands he certainly scared me

You would think that wouldn't you , but doesn't appear to be anyone fighting his corner on this thread . Such a shame to read this

Mark_

They are like shovels!

series1rscars

Ive been more scared of my nan Rod .. he expected us to be worried by him, and when that didnt work he didnt know what to do....when it came to it he had nothing to bring to the table just a wierd smirk ... total joker

v man

I'd be jumping up and down on people's car roofs if that happened to me

I would not be happy

Think some people need to answer to what's happened to you mate imho
