we are afraid that if he does say he will get it fixed then he will get a botched job done for us too. The car is lovely and we would like to keep it BUT only if it is repaired
proper, not some botch job.
I think we will end up going to court over this matter to be honest with you, he is not going to do the right thing and get it repaired or give us our money back.
As I stated before this guy has told my partner to stop HASTLING him, maybe he thinks that we will just accept his offer of £200 and go away! I THINK NOT!!! We will go to court, and get this matter resolved, but we have to give him a chance to come good...but I wont hold my breath!
(The latest thing is that the garage does not belong to him but by a guy who lives in Spain)

Just checked the doggy website and on the home page http://freshcars.co.uk There is a pic of a Jreg surf. This pic was taken by my daughter we we went through wales greenlaning. I have the origional and it was posted on this web just after the event. the motor belongs to a guy in devon (cant remember his name) but those on the run out led by landyV8 will remember it as it was 4" lifted with 33" rubber. They are now nicking pics to put on their website to enhance the surfs and aid their sales.
Time i mailed them and hit them with some copyright laws lmao.
Teach them to pi** around ith forum members.

dont forget to forward a copy of all this to trading standards...

[Grimreeper]

Just mailed them with an official sounding mail giving them the chance to remove the pic. After that its a registered letter where i can prove they've had it. I told them in the mail that if its not removed then i would be seeking full costs and damages he he he.....serves them right for trying to shaft 1 of our members.

Good luck with the email. maybe they will respond to you but they have ignored 3 emails, 3 letters (one recorded) and numerouse phone calls. The next step is a letter of intent!

My Partner bought a Surf 2.4 on the 14th of may from a local garage. He used it basically once. On his way home on the motorway he broke down, it filled with steam and he had to pull over on the hard shoulder. He ended up being taken home by the break down services. His head has gone so he contacted the garage that he purchased it from. He has asked for his money back or for it to be repaired. They have said that they will gladly refund his money if he brings it back in the same condition as he recieved it, ie the head repaired. My partner has told him that this is unacceptable. The garage then offerd him £200 towards the cost of repair. The garage owner has told him to stop hasstling him over this matter as well. I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot that he would accept this? I very much doubt it.
Can anyone tell us how much the repair would cost?

I just wish that we had found this site before deciding to buy one, at least that way we would have been aware of this problem regarding the heads etc.
Any advise would be more than welcome.

Many thanks
Tinks

We have been told by the trading standards that we need to get 2 or 3 estimates to put the Surf right, how the heck do we do that when we cant drive it to a garage?
He wont even answer the phone now and has never replied to any emails that we have sent him.

I just wish all this was resolved as it really is getting my partner down.

I hope nobody else has to put up with this sort of service!
