Urgent!!Help needed

[Ianman]

Some may remember i posted about a month ago saying my cylinder head had gone on my surf. Its was taken in to a garage where it was going to be done on the warranty, heard today warranty company aint gonna fix it!! garage say they will do it but i have to pay £2200!!!!!! So im stuck with my truck in bits in a garage in sunny Blyth(newcastle) with no options can anyone give me any help as ive got no where to store it and really only want shot of it now as aint got the mechanical knowledge to do it myself or the cash to pay anyone that kind of money

[plumb bob]

Head job should cost about £1400.00

Tell them it's too dear and to put it back together and you'll have it towed.

Why is it in bits, and why won't the warrenty company fix it??

If it was under warranty i don't see that the garage/warranty company have got any choice, lean on them a bit and see if they give at all, even if you only get free labour then go to Stevo for the head.(http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/members_p...evo/index.html)

Dont know havent been to see it , told me they have had to strip it down and send the head away to pressure test they rekon its cracked in two places and want me to pay them for stripping it down to , warranty company say they would pay if it was warpped but not cracked

[plumb bob]

Go to the garage and see it for yourself and talk to the manager.

Tell them the warping caused it to crack, and see what they say?

Also check your warrenty paperwork VERY carefully, read the small print.

Defo lean on the warrenty company, and threaten to hand over to trading standards, and also inform watchdog, and see what they say to that.

They are an ins comp and those f**kers always try to get out of paying till you get nasty.

warranty

Alright Ian, most car sales warranties are useless, i've dealt with loads of them and they will try any trick to get out of paying. Unfortunately i havn't seen one that will cover a cracked head and most have a clause excluding cracked heads, i know its not what you need to hear, have you tried to collect from the dealer who sold you the car ? there is a statutary period where they are responsible for any repairs disregarding any bull$$$$ warranty they may have given you. Give us a call on 01614766144 for any advice.
Cheers, Steve.

In a bizzare twist of fate the dealer where i bought the car has suddenly packed up!! dissapeared from the retail park?!?!?!? the guy who is doing the work on my car says the dealer owes him 3k but apparently has f****d off to spain!!!!

Sell the Imprezza to the guy who has your surf in exchange for new head!

[Ianman]

problem is i aint got any documents for the impreza!!!

[plumb bob]

If you know any coppers you could ask them to do a PNC check to find the registerd keeper, and trace them, they may have PX'd it so he would be the owner, then you just apply for the docs and they post to him saying that someone is requesting the docs and if he don't answer within 6 weeks they send them out.

At least thats how it used to work.


Or if you know someone a bit Iffy, sell it for cash.

That

Would be a tidy result
I'd be more than happy with outcome myself

[Ianman]

Anyone else know any police that can do a PNC check for me???
