Mystery knock solved
Re: Mystery knock solved
I will be paying the first garage who damaged the engine a visit this coming week with the engineers report and the bill. I will drive there in the 411 just to confirm I’m not scamming him and see what the outcome is. Will keep everyone posted.

Re: Mystery knock solved
Been to see the garage today who caused the damage I can assure all I was not looking forward to it. Anyway the boss was not accepting responsibility despite the evidence in front of him, it then became more confused when two of his staff piled in, yes you can imagine!
Anyway he took my bank card details and said he would pay the agreed sum I had suggested, which is a long way short of what I had to pay. Will shall see... if no money is forthcoming I still have a couple of plans up my sleeve.

Re: Mystery knock solved
Well sort of resolved, the motor is running well needs painting and the seats could do with re- covering, but I can work on those areas in the future. I will be at some shows next summer for sure.

Re: Mystery knock solved
I was referring to the awkward subject of the first garage, did you have any success there

Re: Mystery knock solved
Well can draw a line under this episode, the first garage responsible for the damage have finally payed up! I didn’t think they would but they have. No need to name and shame and no more stress ie making a small claim application.
A massive lesson as been learnt any problems insist they sort it while it’s still parked on their premises.
