Just a quick one...

When I took the Red beast to longlife, I supplied 2 new head studs as the old ones where sheared as several of you saw.
Told them I wanted the studs fitted. "Yes Sir"

Pick the car up. "Did the head studs go in OK?" "Yes Sir"

Now that the car is in the garage - guess what... Bloody typical. I am tempted to call up tomorrow to have a bloody big whinge. I am NOT amused...

So if anyone else goes to the Longlife in London, writte it down and give it to charlie as the muppet i spoke to obviouosly can't remember any further back than the last bangin tune on his mad wikkid stereo.
And to think, he even had the gall to then blame the popping on a gasket when he hadn't fitted the bloody studs (and, if you are wondering, I knew the gaskets were tired so didn't question his opinion - after all, he was the one who had been under the car fitting the thing...)

is it best to avoid using Longlife in carshalton then? I was going to get them to make a backbox for me...

You might be alright, but write it all down and make sure that you watch the guy read it!!! other than the bolts not being put on, things seemed to be OK... however I haven't had the guys who currently have the car check the exhuast bracket (same thing as with teh studs...) Will let you know if they've not replaced that as well!!

damn monkeys, eh :rolleyes: good luck! think i'll investigate Custom Chrome exhausts as they're about £50 plus a reducer pipe so should be able to get anyone to fit it on, in theory. (only need a backbox...)
