<< Well the garage are doing a good job in pi$$ing me off at the moment. "Well we think it is the head gasket but we have not had a look", Why not?, "Well we got a lot of cars in at the start of the week", but my car has been in for 10 days now, "Well we should be able to look at it by the end of the week".

Suppose I will have to give garage owner a call tonight and tell him to give his service dept a kick up the ar$e. face-icon-small-mad.gif >>

That is what you call the Isle of man syndrome ...If that was in the UK they would be out of business in 5 mins....face-icon-small-mad.gifface-icon-small-mad.gifface-icon-small-mad.gif

Not everyone is like that matey. My speedboat's gearbox is being rebuilt at the moment and the guy doing it is SUPERB. He keeps phoning me to say how far on he is with the job, what parts it'll need, and explaining every last little bit about it. He started stripping it the day after I gave him it and is just waiting for the parts.

It's down to the people rather than the location - if they're decent people they'll get on with the job, but slackasses will use the excuse of being on the island so they can be lazy and it gives the island a bad name. face-icon-small-sad.gif

Yep lens kit, 1GB SanDisk Ultra II & USB card reader.

Arrived today, and I have to say its my best e-bay bargain yet, most of it was still sealed and the camera looks unused not a mark on it.face-icon-small-happy.gif

face-icon-small-wink.gif >>

Euro cars in Douglas had a sign outside, saying that they now service service VW and Audi. Dont know how much they charge ,or if any good. And i saw another advert in courier saying the same at another garage but don`t know which one. Thats all i know Andi dude..face-icon-small-wink.gif

Morning dudes, had a call from the garage last night. They are going to drop the engine out and work out which gasket has gone. They are then going to send it off to an engineer to presure test it incase the cyclinder head is cracked. Then slap it all back together and jobs a goodun. Could be about two weeks depending what parts need to be ordered, and I may have to pay some money if the claim exceeds the warranty. face-icon-small-sad.gif

face-icon-small-smile.gifHi dudes seems to have been quite a bit going on since I last looked here.

Quiet Andi hope your car is sorted soon. If the garage pi$$ing you around is who I think it is then just keep chasing them you will get the work done quicker. It worked for us when we had the black scooby.

Andi 555 or should I say audi 555 how's the house sale going, any joy for you yet.
