To right ive been done, i just been down the garage that are eventually going to carry out the work, because he advised me to look at the car and bring a camera!
When i go there every part of my engine bay including battery was somewhere inside my car on flimsey plastic cheets!
The gearbox was on the front passenger seat, engine block at the back along with all the camshaft and pistones, and in the boot dumped on top of my lil tool box, and cleeaning gear was everything else.

I didnt of course expect them to put it all back together after stripping it, but it shows a total lack of respect for someones car, not only may it mark the recaro's that arnt cheap to replace, but the smell of metal and oil in the car will take ages to go!
The whole thing has been completly DUMPED anywhere it can in the car. Ive taken some pictures and i intend to write a nicely worded letter asking for an explanation, not sure if i should push for a refund though?
Its also very hard to imaging with my discription of how it happend and the 3 x 4inch hole in the block itself they felt the need to totally strip it before telling me there's an extra £800 to pay.

For your records they are engines direct, its the first people on the google search after typing "reconditioned engines"

Any one else used these?

Its all better now very shiny, but now the windows have gone again! and shocks are squeaking like mice!!aarrgghhh
