Just how much did they charge u, if you don't mind me asking. :lipsrsealed:

Normally if it's alot of money you're spending with someone they have a tendancy to do a good job as they are making alot of profit.

Shame they did a crap job, but this is probably the best way of speading the word about them :evil:

the conversion cost ?4000
then there were some parts changed due to wear and tear which brought the total up to ?4200 i think. They did install PAS and my new springs on the front.

It is a good price for what you got  :smiley:

But for that sort of money you don't expect a co@k up. They should be looking to cars like yours to use as advertising for themselves to get more work.

Not helped themselves  :shocked:

the thing is you said you paid ?4200 all in no matter how much or what you spend or anything like that , you hand money over to someone you trust and it comes back worse than when you started its not a good advert. they are meant to be servicing an enthusiast , if you shellin out that much for ?800 more you could have a brand new Ford ka , but us here dont want just " a Car " we want a reflection of us

I knew you have a few problems Dizzie - but not this many !!!

I saw their stand at Inters last year and thought about using them for a G60 conversion, but after ready this they can go swing !!

Might be worth emailing them this thread and showing them just how much damage they've done to their reputation - with the ammount of hits this site gets a day news will travel fast; good job for making them sort it though  :cool:

wow Dizzie I am shocked, sh!t what sh!t.  :undecided:

I will be sure to mention this next time someone suggests using them, they can't blame anyone for giving them a bad name apart from themselfs. :angry:

As I have said before if doing a engine conversion, look at using Jodie at Midland VW  :smiley:

Dizzie, that's a shocker  :shocked: Regardless of how much you paid and even if it was cheaper than you would expect, at the end of the day you told them what you wanted and they said it would be the price they quoted you so they should do a professional job to the best of their abilities (which doesn't seem too great). They have done so much harm to their reputation that they probably don't realise just how much. Hope it all gets sorted out matey.
