B*****ds!

I feel for this guy on eBay, saw it today! :censor:

eBay

To a GT4 as well, wish I knew about engines!!!!!

[daktari]

Unfortunately there are a few too many so called specialist out there. I feel for the poor guy. Like he says probably not a great deal wrong with it. :(

[mikeb]

Am tempted, but it sounds like there are quite a few parts missing.

[martin_longbow]

Sounds like he got a real bad deal, that's crap

:censor: Hi, this is my car at the moment.. Hope you guys are ok. Thanks .

I am going to update the eBay advert.. The whole car is there, I have the intercooler and some turbo parts. All the rest just bolts on apparently.. God knows why they had to loose the radiator cap???

Air filter and AFM are present. Will be leaving the wheels on there also-

I bought all the parts for them to fit it with just expected a labour charge. Head gasket, Oil filter and Cam belt. Was really looking forward to being pinned to the rear screen again but oh well.

Managed to return my Gasket set to the Motor Factors i bought it from today so i am a bit happier..

The cheeky git even hid my car at another Lockup until i paid him the theif.. I am heart broken. I will be pursueing this matter with them further. Suppose its a good job i got a reciept for labour.

Will definately be buying another Celica. Not sure if the funds will afford a GT4 again though. Maybe new year

[daktari]

Sorry to hear about this mate. Pity you don`t know some tame gorrilas to errrrmmm discuss the problem with the idiots.

Best of luck selling it and hope your back in GT4 land again soon or at least a Celica.

[SyCelicaGT]

How the hell can they get away with that!

Surly they are obliged to put the thing back together or fix it. You have the turbo now so why don't you get another mechanic to put it back together, or have I missed something?

Are you saying that they took the turbo to bits? And it's still in bits?

They must be total cowboys.

[GTForbes]

i would get in contact with traiding standards mate, and buy yourself a chiltons (haynes for GT4's) manual and get your hands dirty ;)

[SyCelicaGT]

Blatantly take it up with trading standards, you have every right to get them to put right the damage they have done!

And if you sell it you wont have a leg to stand on. Hate to see a fello celica driver get shafted by di*k heads!

[Tom.B]

Oohhhhhhhhh. a gt4 in drbyshire in my colour..........how difficult/what costs would it take to sort out the mess its in???????????????? M8 Im sure the rest of the boys and gals on the forum can vouch for me as I have been looking for this exact car for a while (i.e the colour..gt4...local)

so peeps any ideas on the fixage charge cos if so m8 I am very very intersted.

[daktari]

I`ll vouch for you Tom... He`s keen as mustard this one....

[martin_longbow]

Dudes, there was a post on General forum. I think it was Chris.S changing his name. Somone on that post was an authorised Toyota repairer. check the text in the avitar box

Tom if it is mechanial work he does he may be able to put a ball park on it for you

[martin_longbow]

Right just checked and it was the topic Chris Shipley has gone Chris.S is the Toyota repair dude

Yipee I can remember things from 20 mins ago

That's no problem with Short term thingy for me

[andrewl41]

This is absolutely terrible, I really feel for you mate!

I really think you shouldn't take this lying down though. Get down to trading standards and get some sound advice. If needs be, a trip to the small claims court may be in order. Don't sell it, your just loosing more money. They should be made to correct their mess.

Hope you get it sorted..

Andrew

[daktari]

Bump......

Two hours to go. Someones going to get a bargain.

[littlewener]

someone did just get a bargain

was it anyone off here

[daktari]

It may well be. Have to wait and see if the new owner posts.

[jaxx]

thats sick!

a nice looking car too!

less organise a TOC meet with a castration special at the offenders place!

or a jimll-fix-it style affair and get all the experts round to digimeisters and have it sorted

[daktari]

Yeah.. I`m all for a good knee capping.

[Gedrick]

Bring em on!!!!!!! :cacker:
