Just had a major service done on my chime on friday...
Ran absolutely sweet before the service...

Now It's running like a bag of s**t, and to top it all off I was getting a nasty smell coming into the car. (The sort you get when you smell ahot iron.

Got home, popped the bonnet open and low and behold, the o/s exhaust manifold was glowing like a turbo a full chat.....

AM contact the garage tommorrow, any ideas whats causing this horrible heating of the o/s manifold.

Right peps update.....

Had the AA low ride the car to the garage this morning, out comes the boss explaining that he can't do nothing today, cos the TVR guy is off sick today!!!

Can you believe it, ONE GUY only......

Next time I go to a specialist, am asking for their history and some of the customers......

I had to leave my car there till tommorrow, and I have told them, they are fully responsible for anything that comes out wrong in the examination of the car.

A**Holes
