Engineer report - how to get?

[LeftmostAardvark]

I've had some work done recently on a motorcycle and the wiring in particular is very suspect, to the point that I'd like to point out the faults to the person who has done it. How would I go about gettting a report on the work done?

It's not a claim thing yet as I'd rather get the mechanic to understand what they've done wrong so they don't do it to someone else, so I'd rather purchase a report direct rather than go through a solicitor. Is it just a question of finding a local garage or are there specialists that would provide a more appropriate report?

Ask a main dealer who sells the same make?

The Ukrainian manufacturer went out of business in the soviet-era.

You would be best talking to Ferret. He is renowned in classic bike restoration circles for his talents with wiring bikes.

I don't know if he would give you a report but he could definitely sort it out!

If you're not looking to make a claim, what are you wanting to achieve by getting an independent report?

By your post, it's clear that you are not happy with the work they have done, so what possible harm could there be by just taking it back in, pointing out the bits that you are not happy with, and giving them a chance to make-good.

Only get a report done if you are in dispute. If you're not yet in dispute, you soon will be if you go in waving an independent report complaining about work they haven't had an opportunity to rectify.
