For the love of Terrano, URGENT ADVICE needed - Page 2

psyseas · 15-11-2016, 18:29

Banshee you're a L-E-G-E-N-D-!-!-! Thank you.

That would be put a real bounce back in my step!

I left the military 3 weeks ago now and if it's a help I can come and do the work with you.

Have you thought about getting Trading Standards involved, because it sounds like he's stitched you up like a kipper.

That's just not right. It might be worth a call to them, and tell the garage your doing it.

Bad luck bloke.

Alright gents, Block 10, jims terrano, Don Simon, Emjaybee thanks for your input, much appreciated!

There's rust on the two front wings which I know is standard for these wagons, but nowhere else on the body. The bottom's been treated but has rust coming through in a few spots.

With regards to the rest of the car nothing else was said at the garage so as far as I know it's all good, though an experienced enthusiasts eye could ferret out the finer details.

Thank you for pointing me to the Trading Standards. I was wondering if there was anything I could do legally. It seemed a protracted legal battle just wasn't worth it but if there's a body that deals it, saweeeeet!

Banshee, I'm steel reeling from that offer, trying to figure out what it all means. It was the final knock out blow after all these good times I been having. What's the final cost after all's said and everything's done - lock, stock and barrel?

don simon · 15-11-2016, 20:21

Don't mention ferrets!!

Blocky10 · 15-11-2016, 20:52

To be fair the garage should have gone the replacement engine route.

I can't imagine there's a terrano owner on here who would let a garage strip an engine for repair. Different if you're taking it on yourself cos you'll not have any labour costs

perelaar · 15-11-2016, 21:00

I'm afraid that garage was just after a bit of quick money... No chance you can visit him "after hours" with some of your forces mates, to see about some refund?

As said, if rest of the car is OK, accept Banshee's offer and do engine swap.

Banshee, hat off to you

solarman216 · 15-11-2016, 22:47

Is it a Bosch or Zexel pump? I ask cos got a good engine here Zexel, Rick

Never trust a ferret, they know noting about cars, and will just nick your spare change and anything else shiny while your back is turned..

Drop me a PM with your phone number and I'll call you tomorrow when I have 5 mins at work

I'll also get a proper price on a block and we'll formulate a plan

psyseas · 15-11-2016, 23:31

Solarman thanks for the reply. To be honest don't know. It's a 2000 2.7 TD SE. As soon as I know I'll let you know

After hours... All sorts has been crossing my thoughts...

Cheers Banshee. I feel like I've stepped from one brotherhood into another

A quick look at the MAF will tell you Bosch = Bosch pump, it is on the pipe tween air cleaner and turbo, Rick

So it's official - the things a useless rust bucket I just sank £4K into for nothing. The final nail in it's coffin. And it gets better - the free room a mate offered I last night found out is no longer available and when I was transferring my last paycheque to another account last month I put the wrong sort code in and it's now in some one else's account, which Barclays can naught about. The wagon was going to be back up to sell if I needed a windbreak when I got out so I'm now officially moneyless, homeless and car less. But not hopeless

just thought I'd update the comedy adventure. It's going to be a rockstar story when I return in a year as a millionaire and update you all with my killer, tricked out pimping Mac daddy Terranosaurus beast!
Thanks for your help boys, you been stars!

Hi mate,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Try the info in the link below, i always try remember as with most things in life I am not first person it has happened to so there is normally a solution out there somewhere. Sometimes people just need to be reminded that you are serious and they need to do their job properly.

Good luck mate.
