Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Off work with a sore throat?! Fuxache.... Last time I went in to work with this I lost my voice for three days. Plus my absence percentage is 0% so it wont have much impact on my payrise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The new mods. Sensible, decent, intelligent, calm, reasonable folks - what fucking good is that?

philpy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sore throat. Bummer. So you've just told us what is wrong with you, and what you are, in three words. That's smashing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Bought a Rover 75 last month and the pervious owner has just spent £689 getting cylinder head gasket repaired as it is a common fault with the rover engine,Anyway before i bought the car i did the usual checks on the engine checking for the symptms of the head gasket being repaired properly and there was none. However i noticed the car was using water over a short period of time but there was no overheating so i was not worried,I took the car into a garage at mate at work recommended and lo and behold they reckon the head gasket has not been done properly so i will have to fork to get it fixed again.

Can't you contact the previous owner? - If he had the work done recently and professionally, the gasket should still be under parts and labour warranty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the receipt for the repair and phoned the garage and they just told me there is not warranty for head gasket repairs but if i took it to dunfermline they would look at it for me but charge me,Now if they can't do the job right in the 1st place i am damn well not going to had over any cash to them a second time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but having spent nearly £700, I'd be mightily surprised if there wasn't a legal obligation to provide a warranty. I'd seek expert advice if I were you Keith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My Astra is currently in the garage for the same reason I actually miss my old Astra, the head gasket went on that a few times, until they were no longer able to skim the head any more. I miss that car, it was frustrating, but lots of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my staff's Dad was in the motor trade for umpteen years, I'll ask her tomorrow to ask him where you should stand on this. Smells really dodgy to me.

You really don't seem to have much luck with cars. Although did you honestly expect not to have problems when you bought a Rover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
