yes, the aa brought all the service centres off halfords a few years ago. if they've only had the head off, i doubt it'd be an electrical problem, sounds more like a loss compresion, but then again i dont know wat else they've messed wiv

No offence to Mr Beard, but if the AA/Halfords are working on your car, make them pay for any costs of having it put right.

also I fail to see how you have proof they have fucked up your car. IMO you've fucked up your car and needed to get it repaired

fook you

halfords/aa are seperate meebe in the same building but that dont make em the same

and if theve fooked his car, they can fix it.
there was a guy on mig and the garage fooked his v6 engine "lots of valves to bend there" and there paying it

if you went into a shopping complex and bought a maccies and didnt like it cos it was cold you wouldnt take it to burger king and ask for a refund cos its under the same roof???

this is true also
a small job can turn into a bigger one

take sommit off to fix it only to find whatever is behind it - linked to it is broken aswell so the job takes longer.

Why bother getting your engine repaired? Just buy another one.

mossy..... you have no idea what is wrong

reskimmin or summat....and after they put it al back they cant get the thing to turnover or spark or whatever

have you been down to speak to to them or anything? Most times a conversation with a mechanic rather than a receptionist can clear things up.

and Blaming your poor dad for it isnt going to help Looks like he was doing you a fav, its not his fault.
