just goes to show that most people just dont know how to look after or get a coupe serviced correctly
that said i think its probably likely the belt was done and not the kit as a cost cutting exercise
i have every simplify for the lad as we all know that my car ended up in a pile of mangled shell end bearings at the side of a motorway 3 hour's after i bought it.
it can just happen, i had the service history, it had a good going over, and a test drive, and it was hand picked
going though my history, it has had bent valves in the past....i can now see that the shell end bearings were not replaced when the head work was done...leading to the complete bottom end going south for the winter on the motorway for me
but this was a fiat garage that did the work this time ?
crap can just happen
im just glad we have people like countycrusing, motormech, and others i cant rember as there not local
that know what there doing and we can leve our cars with them knowing that the work will be done correctly
