told him he can have the car if he gives me one but he wont and now it looks like it wont go past 3rd gear
so i called but he wasnt there and the person that i spoke to was quite rude which tipped me over the edge so i have lodged it with department of fair trading, didnt want to do things this way but i think its the only option
Bloody hell Mitch, If I were closer I'd lend you a vehicle, I even have a used Autobox we could've done a deal over for now until this business is sorted out! I Can't BELIEVE it is still going on!!!:mad::mad::mad:
Hope all improves ASAP, anything you think I can help with, just shout!

might move to tassie seems there is a little thing that goes a long way called service there, yes this guy does seem to be taking advantage of me being nice about it so we will see where it goes from hereQuote:

This thread caused plenty of head shaking on this side of the interwebs.

Excellent. Hope that's sorted it. Hope your daughter is allright.
picked it up today told me it "was a valve" before it was that it was leaking fluid throught the shaft and he had to find which seal it was, this guy is having me on anyway it still revs at 3000 when sitting on 110 than went to the shops for half hour and guess what put it in reverse and had to rev it to get it into gear
im jack of this guy if he cant fix it after 5 goes than i dont rekon he can fix it so im going to fair trading and im going to request that anather shop with a good reputation fix it "properly" and also that i have a hire car again and that this is at his expence seeings ive paid him to do the job surely im not being unfair am i
