Re: ouch!
fcuking w@nkers
ford near me took a guys frst out for a road test after monor work, cant rememebr what now, but trainee took it out....
clamped the pipe to actuator, 5 trips up and down the dual later blew the head gasket..
was only due to the owners mate seeing this nipepr flying around in it the garage owned up to it and sorted it at there cost.
these are just some of the reasons i do not trust garages
