Had my car at a so called 'classic Triumph' specialist for 6+ weeks now.I took it in for an MOT,to see why the oil light won't go out,change the fuel tank and a new front subframe.[xx(]
He says it will be ready Saturday but don't hold your breath cuz he told me that last week[:)].The sub frame is on, the fuel tank is on however this is a mystery as he says he did not fit a new one to save costs so fitted a used one.Also he would have to replace the tank straps with a new tank.So you don't with a used tank? I think he has just poured tank sealer into my original tank as he mentioned waiting for it to seal[}:)].Also the MOt failed for electrical faults the main one being the right headlight won't raise.I just paid a bloke to fix the lights so one of these guys is scaming me.My Triumph garage says he could not make the light work and has fitted a new one! I don't know why he did'nt just change the motor[?].And finaly after all this he says he has tested the engine and the oil pressure is fine through the rev range and he has no idea about the light[:(!].AND AND AND The bill has gone from "won't be more than £500" to £865!! I have only spoken to him by phone so will have it out saturday.All who saw my excited recomendation for this guy forget it.Oh and when I questioned his work time he told me that old cars are pigs to work on.Hello it's his trade and the numptee did not get back to the MOT centre in seven days so I got charged for two tests![:(!]
