andy_bray Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 << 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. >> 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.... Hope you get your scooby back soon Andy..
Cret Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 << That is what you call the Isle of man syndrome >> 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.

I will have a play with it tomorrow.... >> 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.

andy_bray Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Evening all dudes..... Does anyone here know where I can get my AUDI serviced please, In Douglas if possible....Thanx...
graeme_stuart Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 << Evening all dudes..... Does anyone here know where I can get my AUDI serviced please, In Douglas if possible....Thanx... >> 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.. Morning all
andrew_field Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 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.
grant_morris Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Morning all. Think we should rename Andy555 to Audi555 now. Quiet_Andy, I touch goats!

German cr@p...LOL Grant I have had the A4 longer than both of the Scoobys...So it sould be Audi555....
Manx minx Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Hi 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. -------------- Subaru Impreza turbo 4x4 '97 Subaru Impreza wrx sti type uk ppp '03
