all i got mate is the paper work that they gave me statin wot they did.
they sed thats also the 12month warranty on both parts and labour but everytime i call they make it sound like its not their fault and blame it on electrical stuff. well im havin a new idle control sensor fitted soon cuz i had a dyno test and that was the only prob they found. so i imagine that that wudnt make a difference in performance so once thats in im thinkin ov goin all out on LAD as ive spent £1200 on basically fuck all .... and i aint happy!!!

well i can at least+ sense that you have learned a lesson and if your threads and experiences with LAD have put off even one potential LAD customer you deserve rep

i have seen a car with the same work you have had from LAD and it was a quick car up the 1/4 mile. they do bump their figures up but their work seems to be good. you need to get it on the rollers. just wondering how you have had a dyno test? that would mean its been on the rollers.

i had a diagnostics test done with my local citroen garage as my car wouldnt idle, so i had a diagnostics test done. i could view it or even see the car as it was done in the garage and i was told to wait in the waitin room. all they sed to me was wot was wrong (idle control sensor) which im havin fitted soon as they fucked up on the price (citroen wanted £140) so i just bought the part and am gna ask my local garage to fit it for me.
citroen didnt even give me a print out of the diagnostics test, shud i ov had one?

nah not really. just you said you ahd a dyno test which means you had it on the rollers. thing is though. LAD only done mechanical work on you car, you said it was quick when you 1st got it back? then i doubt it will be anything to do with them as mechanical shit is normally working or fucked. no inbetween. will prob be a sensor if its just started running shit.

andywiddss1 thats wot i mean, i dont seem to be doin nething near that and i needed a bit of info on wot was goin wrong as LAD say its nothin to do with them. i was thinkin ov takin it bck to them nd gettin it sorted but id need a full day as i lived in south wales (hell ov a trip) nd i dnt wanna leave it overnite as i wud hav to pay for accomidation nd the train is £130 round trip so not happy wit doin that.
so was your vts pullin nearly 150mph flat out straight after you got it back and did you ever hav ne problems with it?
