Well, in a shady turn up for the books the garage I was praising and using before somehow passed my cars MOT without a rear fog (I thought they had fitted it to the rear high level brake light, it now turns out that they didnt but still charged me for it). So thats £20 for light & switch + labour... but now I have a rear fog lamp in my bumper; praise to MX5 City theyve done a really good cutout job in the bumper, its very neat.
Second, the previous garage I was using appear to have arsed up installing a new cambelt at the same time last year - its missing a spoke. I had my timing stepped up to 14 degrees BTDC and now its running even worse than before, the garage said this was likely down to the cambelt as when they were using the timing gun to check it it was totally off, so of course theyd have to strip everything down to take a proper look at it and now my car feels like someone has poured treacle in the engine, I put my foot down and it makes a lot of noise but sod all happens
Im really quite angry with it all, Ive had a whole day off sat in the reception while they sort everything out and give me a new MOT, to find Im paying for work that should have already been done last year and my car has come off running worse. I really dont want to have to fork out for more labour stripping off the cam, etc to get the belt checked properly and get my timing sorted
