Granted it is an old 100K+ engine, but it should still be afforded the TLC of a younger engine when there is a paid mechanic working on it and Alex was dissing some of the practices of indies.
In Scotland now and will have skis clipped in for the next week or so, so this is my last word on it.
All the best,

Good progress on this BTW Alex. :thumb:

Sorry Ady, I feel like I've set you up here. :wack: :wink:

Just my opinion, but there you go :cap:

I still will do when they charge people £40 to tell them there heated seat is faulty and they don't know why, after the customer asked them what was wrong with it, or another £40 to tell them they suspect there might be an issue with a top mount when the customer asks them to resolve something wrong with the suspension, or when they yank an IMS bearing out of someone's engine in situ only for the engine to go pop a few months later, or load themselves up with work doing jobs that require the'engine out' when it can clearly be done in a quarter of the time with the engine in place!
Experts? Experts in F-All if you ask me.
There's too many people in this world who 'talk the talk' but can't 'walk the walk' and then as soon as the doers do something productive, mouse potatos and keyboard preachers start 'reflecting' (another load of bollox) on the situation.
Just my opinion, but there you go :cap:

You suffering from amnesia?
I have not been a member here that long but there seems to be some evidence of huge inconsistencies in service from OPC's and indies alike?
No point in recycling most of this TBH.
As an example - How does one/anybody give specifics?
State the dealer and why they thought they received crap/poor service? = the dealer will disagree and if they are a site sponsor here it will go down like a fart in a spacesuit.
Scan invoices and the re-state what the issue was and why they were crap? - see above.
For sure some of this is anecdotal/urban chat - but people often feel a need to share and the % of people just being critical is not huge, unless you know different.
Given lots do not get anyway near up close and personal with their car the trust issue is huge and so open to potential exploitation it is unreal! When you do get up close and personal and your mechanic/indie allows you to then the understanding is much better in my experience. I think this is the situation alex was referring to.
There are huge benefits in this community IMHO which should be embraced.
Merry Christmas.

I actually meant it.
As for Alex 'naming' - they were in the positive so i am not sure why you are questioning this in a negative way?
alex yates said:You over generalised Paul when you stated 'some' being good are the exception.
I did not state that - you did!
some:
1.
an unspecified amount or number of.
"I made some money running errands"
2.
used to refer to someone or something that is unknown or unspecified.
"she married some newspaper magnate twice her age"
Back on track though (but not original topic). There's one thing about someone with a Technical mind (be it mechanic, engineer, etc.) - they can sniff out someone bullshitting they're of the same breed a Fookin' billion light years away!!
Off to bed now cos I don't want Santa missing my house. I've left him a line and a glass of the red stuff and some chep market wizz for his reindeers. Hopefully I'll get up in the morning to a short-shifter and some other possible Porsche related goodies.
Merry Christmas Y'all!! :santa:
