  1. I will have to check the paper work but perhaps not.. I sure think that they should have done but maybe not if they weren't supplied with the new shaft. :L cheers for the tip, maybe i'll do it myself now:- I have seen a full lifting kit for £45 seems like a bargain I shouldnt miss, with this car
  2. Hello there helios and thanks be for this important information We have the car back and the steering self centres :L my dad picked it up whilst I have been away & paid this nefarious garage £100 for a secondhand servo & they have put MOT on it. I am not quite sure where I stand now, I haven't taken the car on any ramps, although perhaps I should as it appears the left driveshaft which they replaced is leaking oil :L Sadly my grandmother who the car belonged to originally passed away last week and I am somewhat attached to this vehicle, is there any prospect of bending the car back?
  3. OK guys difficult question but how could the garage have known that the front end was bent? I have a feeling that this is what the court case would rest on
  4. Thankyou Sailor Sam & Helios thankyou both so much for all your help & advice in all of this you really have made a world of difference. OK so I'm going to write an email now saying that if they can't give the car the full repair within 7 days I am going to require a refund ... and if they refuse then what are my options? .. with many thanks & kind regards one love
  5. belated update: the car was taken back to the garage the owner at the car with us and following this he agreed to repair the gearbox where it was leaking and make the casing fit flush over the clutch make the brakes system adequate - stop servo hissing make steering self centre and align make horn work resolve issues causing engine management light to be activated and was adamant that the gearbox is positioned correctly so agreed to replace the piece of melted & displaced steering rack with new . also pointed out to him they had tried to get me to buy a part which i indisputably didn't need pointed out that the centre flexi joint weld needed more exhaust paste on it where he could have replaced this part for the price he charged for the welding - owner agreed to re-weld.. they agreed to fix this was over a month ago now for no extra money from us however i have been struggling without my car and although they offered me a courtesy car i feel that this is taking an inordinate amount of time unreasonably last tuesday they emailed me and said all issues are sorted apart from brake servo which they are trying to source second hand - i saw they had a compatible brekaer in the yard but when i spoke to them about this verbally that day the manager & assitant manager informed me that this rubbish looking car was actually their courtesy car/ and that the owner who is dealing with my car is not here ... again this place is a limited company does this mean i cannot take them to small claims for a full refund?
  6. I am in urgent need ofyour advice I am to go to the garage to speak with the owner at 1oclock yesterday they claim that 1:they had stopped gearbox oil leak 2: they had "made the engine management light go off" 3: an auto elctrician was coming to look at the horn easy bits... then they claim that 4 : yes the bodywork is bent where the gearbox fits but it was damaged caused in the accident not something that we did.. and 5: they did not mention how this pertains to their incorrect positioning of the gearbox so that it rubs on the steering arm and fatigues and melts the gaiter --- the steering no longer self centres and there is free play and clicking in it last i checked 6 : they did not mention the leaking brake servo at all bear in mind this garage the only they were was authorised to strip the car & check the fulll extent of the damage whereas they told us that the car was ok apart from a few things they told us where broken which apparently were not broken anyway & did not tell us about these things which are broken and would cause the car to be dangerous and to fail it's MOT
  7. Hello all and good evening to you I am posting this query on behalf of a work colleague He is being chased for upwards of £800 by vodafone who renewed his contract when he had cancelled; from over a year ago he didnt cancel in writing but rather by phone and he was told that the matter had been closed apparently not Where does this situation stand? They have been sending letters to his mum. thanks SC
  8. I am going to the garage very shortly - next 5 minutes The car was left there last Wednesday on the basis that they would phone that afternoon We have since emailed them with no response The car has been there a week we are going to see them now not sure what to do or what the position is I do know that the car would not have passed any MOT in the condition it was collected any advices?
  9. Legal eagle to the thread please My dad has booked the car in for a geometry test today, anyone know if this will tell me something an engineers report wouldnt cover? It's not going on the jig, just the wheel alignment... Thanks again
  10. Legal eagle to the thread please. I am due to get an engineers report for tomorrow, my dad has booked the car for a geometry test at vauxhall dealer will this tell me anything that an engineers report wouldnt?
  11. What is my position with the unauthorised work that has been done. I verbally agreed the initial estimate but never signed the job cards at any stage, I am disappointed that the engine mount has been welded as it is my firm belief that this is a one time fit component.
