Wish i went to Chris at retro sports, Picked my car up yesterday from the so called specialist i took it to, the clutch now works well but its not happy now blowing from manifold my what was working aircon is now gas free so no aircon now, Engine managment light was on all the way home and the smell of neat fuel so i checked the fuel line and to my suprise fuel leaking out what more annoyed me was the fact it only needed pushing in to locate it.
I then went around all the engine bay and found quite a few loose jubilee clips on the induction side of the engine, the final touch is im now minus a plastic under tray, after the last few messages between myself and the garage before i picked the car up im loosing the will to sort it all out with them.

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.
