Try taking a few deep breaths and calming down, mate.:)
 
you may want to do a search on this Nay williams fella he has stung a few landy folk now its all over facebook at present

thats a great into btw
 
crock of **** thread, contract broken, goods not provided or work not done to suitable standard etc etc. Small claims yada yada or simply ask him about the work, tell him you'll take it to an LR dealer for a review and if its not right you'll see him in court
 
No I didn't want to come on here for that but I've paid a lot of money and need to know if the engine numbers are ok as I took it to a local garage and he didn't like the look but I'm a novice with all this and just want a piece of mind knowing all is ok
 
£650 seems to be a lot for labour too doesn't it ?

Should really have smelled a rat there I reckon, take it he's keeping your old engine too is he ?

?including fitting and supplying a disco t/box ,300 turbo, fitting wading kit ,oil change ,seems a bit cheap matey must be doing a favour or ?
 
I live in Barnsley not Mansfield I only used him as he had the engine and heard he was good but I just need it checking over as the police are stopping us when we are offroading and checking the numbers but I'm also starting to hear things about him I just hope all is ok thanx
 
He's ripped quite a few people off including a couple who won't take kindly to it. I hope he's got unemployment insurance. Cos he's gonna be struggling to hold a spanner for a long long time, if they get hold of him.

The parts wernt brand new and I had already paid £400 quid for a full engine with turbo inter cooler everything and then it was 650 for the oil replacement and fitting the engine and breather kit

Yeah but presuming all "parts" are second hand £40 for box, £120 for turbo, £25 for a brand new wading kit and the fact that he's keeping the old engine (I think as not yet been corrected) I reckon that might be a little expensive wouldn't you say ?

not for supplying and fitting that stuff plus engine ,but as op stated its not the case
 
Yes the bill was £1050 and still got a oil leak and coolant leak and and still got a 200 turbo as he said they are the same turbo so dint change it also I had to pay £100 quid to have it toed back to his garage but now I'm gunna have to take it to my local garage and get the engine oil leak and coolant leak sorted as I use it for day to day use and need a bit a reliability
