Hopeless bastards didn't chuck it on the vehicle's file and now have an $8K bill to replace injectors, pipework and injection pump - and I'm told by people that know the breed the useless bastards havent sorted out the core problem that is likely to have created the damage in the first instance. That, and three counts of bonnet popping up to the safety hook after services, one screwdriver and lots of cable ties recovered after services, a couple of cases of incompetent work leaving the vehicle in basically an unsafe state. Not really happy - just too many ballsups including not being able to tell me who's actually running their outfits. Bloody hopeless.

stop taking your vehicle to fuck wits

in saying that my highly skilled mobile mechanic and offsider managed to service six of our picking machines and only fill 5 with oil
number 6 promptly seazed

human error is still a thing that exists but these guys have saved me a lot more than this one day/issue cost me

I also unseazed it and got it working again but its never been the same since
