absolutely, dead engines, dont have timing which in turn, doesnt rotate an IRD
very appropriate for the title of this thread '1.8 K series fecked engine'

For the sake of the k-series enthusiasts, I hope it's the last time you'll be working on a k-series. We lose enough due to hgf nevermind incompetent mechanics, this is a school boy error made by a so called specialist.
At least you were honest, but spamming the forum within your first post, won't win you any favours,

ave seen yer "website" - looks like its just a google ad carrier
do you really expect peeps to trust a "company" who doesn't advertise their physical address and the only method of contact is via a mobile phone number ?

Like i have said im just starting out, i dont have a big bank balance for high cost marketing, i think my site covers whats needed and i have alot of happy customers i have 3 contracts with big companies rebuilding ird units, i am currently rebuilding over 15 irds a week so i cant be that rubbish.
All i have done is tried to let people know of a cheaper way to resolve there ird problems im not here trying to boast or spam just was advised by a customer to try joining some forums as freelander owners are always in need.
i'm not here to offend anyone i am actually trying to help, but seems as there are alot of either jelous people on here or just people without a life,
wanting to knock me down.
Please note i am an ird specialist only not freelander i have worked on freelanders for many years but now only specialise in ird units
All company's have to start somewhere so please dont knock the fact i dont have a flash website
regards
how about posting some images of your workshop, if only to illustrate you arent working off your kitchen table
information such as what qualification/experience/insurances you have might also help
