I hear this so often, because a garage can change a set of plugs on a Fiesta they think they can do anything. I have had Interceptors delivered to me on a low loader after a garage cant get it going or no brakes. Specalist cars need specalists and trying to save a few quid by taking somewhere local or handy is often a bad idea.

It was code p2195 which would explain the code with it not fueling correctly.

Im guessing its leaking from where the down pipe meets the manifold as the manifolds wasnt removed when taking the engine out.

They may have used the old gasket but it would have needed replacing, are the bolts still on the joint or has one snapped off? It maybe not tightened up enough with luck as other parts were loose as you mentioned .
It's not initials TF is it who did the job?

I thought he had a good reputation but clearly doesn't know much about V8's or how to keep a customer happy. You do know it's very awkward to replace the down pipe gasket in situ ? It's not good that you have to finish the job yourself and to undo the non finished job.

To be fair he has put his hands up to the faults and has said sorry, plus hes sending my undertray back to me via tracked delivery, I dont like to moan or get arsey with people but then i get no where with things.

The down pipes look like a git to do,my local mechanic here who takes care of my van will take a look if need be.
