Fellas what tuh do when you get highly recommended to a Mech and he did a botch work?

Remember I went in to change the Front Seal which was leaking right, and we also changed the two Axel Seals one time.

Well now I'm leaking fluid again, this time its from the Axel.
Went by my Mech and he confirmed one of the Axel seals are bad.

The next Axel spitting out all the hard grease
He confirmed the Boot has no Strap securing it to the cup.

Also remember my Tranny mount had slight wear???
Well this is the kicker....one of the bolt/stud is completely missing and the mount has successfully buss way.

I also lost my Stonesheild, lost it from driving or jus negligence on the part of this assshole. Its the sheild that has the lil mudguard lip to the front of the tyre

On top of all this, I find I am loosening bolts with my hands on parts that I knew had to come off to fixed the Front Seal.

My Mech, who was one of the ppl who reccomended I go by this guy coz he was tied up, told me to leave the guy and move on coz it wont put me in a better position, Its just a Mount and Axel Seals. I say fcuk that and torch he MC down.

I going in he MC at 9am..Varoons Transmission Works opps SBCS Trincity

A.W.O.L lol...i had school days too you kno...gasoline and styrofoam Mr. Green

Ok I went to him and told him the scene.
He said he will sort me out for free and he purchased a stone sheild to replace.

Quite frankly I told him thanks (hadda have some gratitude)
and that he's not touching my car again..

He said the stud for the mount got damaged when they were replacing it
I told him that that wasnt a reason for him not to say something when he delivered my car.

I went to a machine shop and got a brand new stud
Went and purchase a used mount...its in excellent condition and from good ppl.
Sorry beast, no time to rebuild, all the guts on this mount here outside.

Gonna go by my Mech in the morning and spend the day in car and grease and get my sh!t done the proper way.

idlemind, glad you learning the hard way - lessons in life that will benefit you with future cars

when leaving your car by a mech, do so only with a mech you know and trust

them fellas, no matter how good, does do sh!t sometimes and not say anything

cuz to them u is just another $

a trusted mech will treat you liek a valued customer

and always inspect your car and work done esp after dealing with a first-time\first experience mech

Yeah well It was a bit of desperation and urgency

The Tranny guy was highly recommended buy my Mech and my Straightner/Mech
Both of them dont know each other and both of them I trust with my car.

The thing is the Guy's place is well established like Jenton's setup in Aranguez, so I didnt think much about halfhazard work.

The car was delivered after it was finished because I didnt have any options to go for it. I never got a chance to inspect the mount nor did I thought I'd have to.

I knew the mount was bad and the leaking stopped.
Anyway, if my car ended up by RC as you suggested ahwile aback, I would, without hesitation, trust his workmanship because he came highly recomended.

Anyway as you said, I know now.
I guess its the same with you and Federal

Anyone know any other part numbers for the rear engine mount and tranny mount that you would get from the us .. DM prices gone up by a 100% disc pads are 1220 from 695 there and mounts are between 900 something to 1000 plus vat?????

turbo_beast369, no coilover will offer a comfortable ride
far less for close to stock, the purpose of the coilover is to tightenin up the shock, strut and spring by combining them to improve handling.

fellas I agree with rick here, DM parts get ridiculous

i think we hadda organise with W2J or SHO from now on.

get your part numbers in hand, they're on the first post on page 1 of this thread

same thing I thought ZeroOne

turbo_beast369, the alignment fellas fix the knockin noise that is caused when the brake is half depressed.

Problem was a knot behind the two front rotor's was too tight so it was slipping thus causing the knocking noise, so they corrected the torque.

And problem solved.

I also did a a X rotate and balancing and cleaned all the rims front and back as well came up to 152.00.

Car didnt need aligning.

Car feeling like a X5 now.

I dont know much about the knot Crying or Very sad

besides that it is vertical and it was behind the rotor and it looked like it was connecting two rods.

They had to adjust the torque on both sides.
I could find out more about it and get back to you.

The girls who harass me are attractive Razz

^^^yeah find out more please...i really want to stop dat noise and we cant seem to see anything wrong....what we did notice was that d side dat makin noise d rotor fits a lil slack on the spindle and it shakes more and thas with the caliper bolted on eh...the other side the rotor has no kinda play....I know when the wheel tightens the rotor gets tightened as well but its very odd how it has play when d wheel is off...
