Cut the Cr*p matt.

Simple question, and he asked first.

Where is the s**ding engine, and when can it be collected.

I know why you are called bobcat now.. coz you keep bobbing the questions.

Nice post Ross, and once again absolutely spot on.

Quite frankly bobcat, it doesnt matter one jot WHEN he asked... he asked,Timway asked, Joules Asked, Whitey Asked simple enough. You failed absolutely to deal with the request. 2 weeks is too long in my opinion, even 1 week for a very simple 10 minute job is too long, and lets fact it, you aren't operating from a 5 acre garage are you.

It's not Pyapps place to answer your questions. Christ he's a paying customer (or was) and a big paying customer too. Quite how we've found the way to twist it so we should feel gratitude for a garage doing what a garage gets paid for I've no idea. You get paid to do a job, simple as... however It looks like you are stunningly incapable of doing the job you are paid for.

Let alone the stinking attitude,cocky answers & downright lies from yourself.

I also hear from another member that you and Stuart are threatening to pull sponsorship from VOC for this, well I'll tell you now, I'll readily contribute some money to offset the loss of that money. I think between us, a few pounds each would more than cover it. Just another example of the same way VT operated to try and quell dissension amongst the peasants.

Hi,

Whilst I appreciate the frustration and disappointment expressed by many of the members here, I think that venting spleens is not going to achieve the desired result.

Given that bobcat has all the appearance and is indeed a commercial poster on these forums, I think that the commercial posters rules should now be applied.
I have therefore reported to the admins on this matter.

I would also suggest the the agrieved party registers a complaint with both 1) the local police and 2) the local Trading Standards Department.
Let them mess those guys about.

This really stinks.
While SW have, up to now held an excellent reputation here, they will likely be remembered fotr the "The case of the disappearing T4".
Another sad day in Volvo tuning/servicing circles..

Des. . .

My sentiments exactly.....


Coupled with my exhaust repair, I was sent to SW on good recommendation.

They even managed to cross thread one of my spark plugs......

I went to SW for my exhaust repair because they build stainless exhausts, and I didn't want my downpipe ruining by a bodged repair...


What did I get???


THIS quality professional repair

If you appreciate decency and honesty, let me say it doesn't matter any more when or if pyaap asked. Plain and simple (which is something I sense you find it hard to accept by reading your replies), this thread started on the 9th of Nov 2007. Its 22 nov 2007 now. Its coming to 2 weeks Bobcat.

Save bandwidth and time for everyone, just tell pyaap where his engine is and when can it be collected. The rest he can settle. Why all this Aggravation and dodging the questions.

If you want to be taken seriously as a tuner or ecu software enhancer, start acting it. And also think about SW/Stuarts reputation while you pen your answers. Its not about BobCat all the time.

cheers

I would be quite happy for all my replies to this thread to be deleted, and then all questions can be directed directly at sw's.

What has suprised me is that everyone seems to think they know all the facts and are in a positon to make a judgement. when this is all settled (which in my heart i think will happen) it will interesting to re-read this thread.

The only 2 people who really know all the facts are sw's and ashok and as i see it, its a private matter between the 2 of them.

There, you now have an impasse.
