So it looks like a failed crank pulley caused the damage, most likely cause a lot of other problems that you have pointed out and you cant blame the garage for that tbh, some of the other stuff is very bad though, that fuel pump cover is shocking, that is messing with your life right there, sub frame bracket removal is terrible and all.

Well what can I say. An early start, gorgeous day and great run down to Lee's. All I can say is that I could not have asked for a better group of members to work with.

 

Was never a dull moment and to start the day off, Darren drops half a bucket of coolant over his own head. Working on a supra, great company and great weather who could have asked for more.

 

A big thanks to Lee the waitress for the coffees and tea and endless supply of food and drink, And an even bigger thanks for Lee's mum for putting up with us all.

 

Almost forgot, Pudsey I want info on how you got on with the Swedish backpackers, and did Helga meet up to your expectations. :D:p:innocent:

All back and a couple of threads merged here.

 

Please continue to discuss findings from the day, but keep comments clear of potentially litigious allegations.

 

Edit - The damage to the pulleys all looks linked to the crank pulley failure. Never hear of one fail like that before, but potentially can't blame "the garage" for it. Lost for words on the rest of the pics though, absolutely shocking...

 

Also, great work by those that helped Lee out, well done guys, you're due some good Karma :D :thumbs:

Just looking at them pictures again and i cant get over how bad that is, that is proper life threatening work they have done with your fuel system and chassis, and that oil drain they have took a grinder to is also unreal, these jokers should never be allowed to work on a car again, you need to take legal action against them.

He's right Lee - this is an absolutely disgusting way to leave a customers car..... (ANY car, not just becuase its a Supra and not just because you paid them stupid amounts of £££'s for this workmanship). :mad:

The way the fuel lines were run unprotected down the length of the car an exposed to the screamer pie was bad, the fuel lines had actually started to split and in places crimped by the cable ties, also there was no fuel filter fitted on the car any where!

In a way your lucky the car stopped working when it did - f**k knows what might have happened if you'd driven around with it like that for much longer (drag/track etc)

 

At least you have people working on it now that WONT put your bloody life in danger

Truely shocking work there from so called specialists, Im gutted for you mate. Also a very spectacular crank pulley failure didnt really help matters. So you had potential oil loss, fuel leaks and chassis instabillity???? Jesus. And whats the sensor as a sump plug all about?

But great work lads and a fantastic club spirit :)

Christ Almighty, that is some serious bad workmanship, that could have been fatal dude.

 

I mean screw your engine thats a cheap fix, more im worried about is the chassis, oil drain, and fuel lines, driving along and bam if anyone of them go your in serious trouble,

 

but tread very carefully mate when/if you take action. And i hope you get it all sorted? ASAP!!
