Solicitor Required Re: Unsatisfactory Garage
Discussion
Looking for any recommendations for a solicitor (preferably in the Herts/Beds/Bucks or London area) to help me with unsatisfactory engine recondition work.
High level summary
RRS engine failure sent to an a firm (to remain anonymous, for the moment) that deals only in reconditioning engines in Nov 17.
Advised that it will take up to 6 weeks to complete
Didn't get it back until March 18, almost 6 months later. Was advised there was an electrical fault remaining, but as it had been so long I told them to send it back and I would get that sorted.
It was delivered back but car was in reduced performance mode.
Advised by my mechanic that the trouble codes relating to air flow sensing. We didn't think the flow sensors were faulty but we swapped them out for 2 new ones anyway which didn't change the situation so we have swapped them back.
The engine runs badly and misfires. There is evidence of oil having been blown back up the air intake against one of the air flow sensors. It is currently in reduced performance mode. The car wont drive an more than a few meters. You can hear a misfire and associated intake noise similar to what you would hear if a valve wasn't closing correctly, as if it had been bent or a valve spring had broken.
Its possible one of the cams was out of time and a valve has been slightly bent during assembly if the engine had been turned as you would, while assembling it.
returned it back to the firm in March 18 , who now are managing it under warranty (although I hadn't had the vehicle returned usable in the first place) and they still maintain it is an electrical fault that they don't deal with.
So several thousand pound later and in May 18 I don't have the car back or working!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
