My L20B Build


Ant-dat

Recommended Posts

in total what they actually did,

 

Cylinder bore £50 a cylinder 1mm over size (no hot tank wash even that I requested)

fit pistons to conrods £10 each

wrongly order shells (shells where only to be ordered if the crank was ground) £171

Crank was only polished

So I have ended up being charged £160 for a crank polish

and painted the block in some really crap black paint

 

 

I asked them for an invoice and was told it was a cash deal, If I really wanted an invoice that would be another £80

normally I would have put trading standards onto them but I cant as it may cause issues with mates garage so I have had to put it down to a very expensive lesson,

 

I have slated the company on my website, facebook and a few UK clubs.

don't take your stuff to them again.

 

Most L motors are pretty stout. a crank polish? for 160pounds?????????Fuck that just run it.

Bearing look mostly OK ?Fuck it run it!!!!!!!!!

 

post on the web that these guys you don't recommend!!!!!!!!

 

 

I heard things cost more in the UK? You aint kidding

When I was working in Farnboro Qnectic Windtunnel everything was twice as much as the US and the UK people got paid half as much.

 

I tell people from England and Germany things are cheap in the US than where its made. They don't believe me

there is no chance i'll ever use them again.

I have slated them on facebook loads of UK forums and on my own website, Even mates garage is reducing the work they send them.

 

I agree it's more expensive here. I can get parts usually from Datsport cheaper here than I can local, and fuel at the moment for 95 ron we are £1.09 a litre which is just under £5 a UK gallon (4.55 litres)

 

Ps tired to send you a pm but it says you cant receive any
