  10. This is my problem I'm not the kind of guy who ideally wants to take legal action and have a long drawn out court case and possibly ruin people involved business ect so would like to sort it in best way possible be it money my way to rectify the problems and hasstle! I can't expect the guys to carry on doin this for free and they have travelled a long distance so feel they shud be able to claim fuel costs at least! But just have to see what kind of agreement can be made if not then legal action will be the only option which by the sounds of it the garage wouldn't want with the things found. Just have to see I guess
  11. Wow, only just checked this and am amazed by the replys! Don't remember me saying I can't afford the build so cut where possible! But ok. Luckily I have near enough every email sent in my inbox since the build pretty much started for reference, also a reason if you can't pm me as my inbox is 98 percent full!! I do not remember ANYTHING being mentioned about the fuel system being a problem? And considering it was off another car that mean it was removed and then fitted to my car the way it was. Also then in your hands to inform me of no fuel filter? Before the build even started I made it clear my car knowledge was limited so was goin on recommendations and advice, as a professional act then advice on what to be done should of been carried out. I remember when picking the car up I had the walk round explaining things like 'o this makes that noise and that lights on' biggest annoyance was where the turbo was changed and the following comment ' you may hear a rubbing now and again where the turbo is so big the down pipe is rubbing in the fire barrier' no mention of this before I went to collect the car I've wrote down all expenses for this build, parts, labour, buying new parts to replace bits and its around 25k NOT including buying the car. I have lost faith in the builder and I'm having some one more compitant do the communicating to the garage for me. So much is wrong with this car it makes me not want it, to think my life was at risk with driving it makes me feel sick as rarely was I driving on my own so then put them at risk! Its discusting! Feels like even if we sort the engine out there is stil so much to sort, new fuel lines ect and as I mentioned before all expense I'm not wanting to pay but kinda have to! The bits for the weekend already hit 300 quid, another 100 when I had to sort the leaking gear box! Just feels like this is only the beginning, ok this is getting sorted now and I can't express how much I appreciate it but what's next? Can't keep expecting favours when some thing else goes wrong, haven't even seen the inside of the engine :/ Can't say thank you enough tho guys! Even had my mum in tears because she can't believe the way you all pulled together to help me out as she knows this has caused me nothing but hell for over a year! Her words were I've never met such amazing people in all my life, you have friends there for life

  14. Just a quick post to say thank you for sorting the parts needed to fix my car this weekend! I didn't know what I needed so he said all the bits I didn't know about and made sure every thing was covered Mega impressed with whifbitz service as always! I literally phoned him yesterday and every thing arrived in the post this morning! Strongly recommend whifbitz to any one as I have used him many times before and will continue to in the future Cheers Paul
  15. cheers for all this guys, would like to keep it as much as "workers" as possible just due to space! i have a couple mates locally swinging by as well and obv the sw lot who i no is more than welcome today i ordered a new pump, oil, oil filer, sump gasket, sealant, crank seal gasket or sumit and some gaskets that go between pump and engine! TBH paul was saying u need this, this and this and i was nodding on the phone but i put faith in him and will be here this week! i have a mate who is talking to his mate who works at a butchers to get discount bulk meats if he can, will go shopping in the week for rolls, tea bags, milk ect! if any one has any garden chairs that will help too we have the wall removed the the front and have a drive way and the grass is not chip and dust so all will have to happen on the front. drive way is a bit of a slope but hopefully wont be a problem if any one is please bring a decent jack as the best i have is the one in the boot of the supra cheers all and will see u sat o and dont expect a salad or any thing as i duno where to start, burning stuff on a fire is as gd as it gets for me im affraid
