I'm beginning to get on a bit now so slowly scaling down what work I do on cars . I sent my son's mg montego turbos engine off to be rebuilt as I didn't want to do that any longer . Completely messed it up so I took it back and did it myself... Again. Comes a point when I now only trust a few places these days but I have to stop at some point.
I feel for Phil though having to wait that long as it shouldn't be like that
If theres something I can't do on my zt I will always send it up to Chris at retro sports as I trust him

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.
