We rot busted it,refurbed running gear front and rear/subframe,new brakes,bearings,balljoints,clutch,waterpipes and passed MOT with no advisories .This was all done at a fixed price and the brief was to get car to MOT std.It would then be shipped to his mate in Brum for paint.
Harry seems to think he should have got a new car for his money and anything that goes wrong with it from now on is down to me .He rang me once the other day,I was busy so didn't pick up .He then started slating me on a Frenchy FBook page less than 24hrs later.
I've had this conversation already.......he says he will slate me on every Alpine forum he can find so I'm not going to comment any further on the subject.

I have taken my engine and the rest of the car apart and replaced a lot of parts with new and still it's leaking everywhere... Fluids under pressure will always find the littlest imperfection in a joint /seal and make its way out is the laws of physics you can't beat it...
