Hi James & Peter.

John's response from myself may appear on the face of it to be rather harsh. However if you look back at the four previous threads that I replied too (& bumped back to the top) you will see a trend emerging that displays an unforgivable abuse of a customers trust in my opinion.

In John's Range rover post, he is advised to pay particular attention to the intercooler pipes. He then goes on to say that he has fitted a set of injectors without an improvement, only to finally fix it by replacing the intercooler.

This would not be a difficult fault to diagnose with the correct research & training. But John had the benefit of good advice from an experienced UKAT member & still screwed it up for his customer.

I may have misinterpreted John's tone when he wrote...

""Thanks everyone for your help, It's good to talk. Now the real problem starts trying to get paid for Injectors, Intercooler And labour etc. J.C.""

That just looked too jovial to me I am afraid, considering that the customer had been seriously screwed!

Can you imagine what it would be like if we all traded in the same way. OK no one is perfect & I have made my own mistakes along the way, but never have I thrown parts at a job in the way that john appears to do.

This kind of practice needs to be strongly discouraged & not brushed aside as if it isn't important.

There is nothing wrong with posting for help, but do it with professionalism & courtesy. Display your intention to do it correctly & provide evidence of tests performed & data analysed.

I am sure that no one want's to be associated with "Thick Fit Fitters"
