Of course it matters. A sincere apology would be a good start. He is still claiming that he was avoiding potholes. How can it be argued. Then the apology only if we have to...shouldn't be forced out of them. Seems now it's not being done clinics way they've forgotton how to go about fixing issues without threats of legal action.

Just digging themselves a deeper hole. If they wanted all done privately and on the quiet maybe they shouldn't have been so threatening up front.

He will be gone for a month or two until the **** storm settles. I've never wanted it both ways. Stand by everything I've said. I wouldn't say coming out of the woodwork. We've always been here just now there is proof to make a point of. You were quite happy to slag off Duncan on your "my mates" knowledge but will gleefully defend your clinic with video proof. All of those that had new pieces of work magically appear when at clinic now have a reason for their doubt. That statement "if the owner thinks we did wrong" right so clinic doesn't actually think they did wrong. Only if Ben thinks they did wrong. Hardly gonna be a sincere apology. The nasty messages are wrong and those are the villagers with pitchforks. Not the genuine members of the community who feel wrongly done by clinic.

Tapatalk doesn't like quoting at the minute [emoji23]

read his MLR post, the transcript is fabricated, he lied about how he left the place etc etc He says a lot more on mlr than the video seems to show but you don't see the full 20 minute test drive. I've only seen the 2 minute daily mail video. If the full footage is out it would be interesting to see it all to get the full info of what's been said. Arguing about what was said detracts from the fact that clinic drove his car like twats, kev openly mocked him and threatened him with legal action along with passive aggression. Now they land with egg on their face and a lower customer base except for the brainwashed loyalists. I'm sure for yourself tidgy and the other continuous customers they look after your cars. You pump money into them. But for the one off little job like Ben had, they couldn't care less.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Exactly that.

One of those things that gets said "I wouldn't want to speak to him about it" "be careful what you say" blatant intimidation. I dont know what was said but I can only imagine it was along those lines if Ben went on to AA legal team. Ben gave them a chance and they threatened him and mocked him so why should he bow to them and do it their way so they can hide this debacle.

"I have a video" is there to back up his claim. He was looking for advice before going forward as I'm sure you're aware not all of us a versed in the legal proceedings when it comes to a company taking your car for a dangerous joy ride. If he has the mechanics bearing down on him in a passive aggresive manner I'm sure first he thought was, I need help. From what I see he felt intimidated enough with big mechs around him and the threat of legal action. They backed him in to a corner and then openly mocked him on forums. If they wanted to deal with it internally that's a big mistake. I fail to see what he led about? You can hear the comments made in the video. More clearly at the end when he hopes he blew a tyre. Clinic don't have a leg to stand on in this instance and it will roll on from there until a months time when it's all forgotten about.

Half of the issue is the story the owner told is 50% bs 50% truth. While that is no excuse for what happened, how were they supposed to take it when initially they were told a pack of rubbish and refused to be shown the video? I think the reason the bloke held the video back was that he was unsure where that would land him legally when he had already been threatened with legal action. The owner shouldn't be openly mocking the chap either. Too big for their boots. I understand kev was in the middle from the start as he didn't see the video he's none the wiser.

Not a good logic towards customer service. Wonder if clinic with give the daily mail all that gob. Big and clever to us small fry customers but gone quiet when it comes to someone with more brass. Comical now the videos out all those calling bullshit on the owner. Lots of red faces.

Chances are the second link but for safety get your head under the bonnet and have a look down the back of the turbo. Snap some pics and share if you feel unsure.

I know a place that can look at your brakes. They'll diagnose any suspension damage on their specially designed test road too.

I'm sure down pipe are all studs so just need to GET SOME NUTS!

Apparently one handed his notice in and defended the passenger. If they did it to one car how many others have had the same treatment?

No contest. Deliberate as hell. Always heard they tote for work and now we know how.

I have the uppipe for you. Not me but hold fire.

I stuck with Keith Michaels. Went down from 660 to 572 iirc. Covers mods.

Have a look on eBay for anyone breaking a car. Just send them a message asking if they have the pipe. Many bargains to be had.

Found myself a set of hks coil overs. They'll be stored until New tyres go on so it can be tracked up together. Means all handling has been done now.

East Kent Subaru. Ask for rich. Very good bloke. Local to Canterbury.

Happy for that tbh @£26. Cheaper than my air filter that needs replacing more often

Mine was from eBay, £26. Been fitted just over a year. Had no issues at all.

Yes sir. Forever loading.

Keeps unsubbing me from topics too. I'm missing all the good bits. And can't sneak and sniff prods profiles.

It is indeed. Gearbox, diff, shafts, hubs, suspension all doors and rear panels. When I went to get your bits it was a sorry sight. that's for sure. Heart breaking
