very nice and welcome m8

 

[Woody]

Thanks again everyone

Woody > It wasn't bought from Meridien but the previous owner had used them for all work on the car and it was there being checked over ready for the sale. I'm glad i didn't get landed with the £5.5k bill it gave the owner for bringing everything up to scratch

Ah, OK, cool.

Enjoy, I hope she treats you well!

£5.5k..........so they just changed the oil then.....??!!....


P

to be honest it didn't look like they did a fat lot considering the size of the bill, main expense was in replacing the oil/water pump

 

[Parisien]

Hmmm....so who identified the oil pump issue, happened one of the guys off here too?

There was a car advertsied recently with very little data that needed a new water pump. I *think* it was on the other forum as people were saying 'some detail may help'

I wonder if that was it, bought by Meridien for resale.

....wondering what sort of profit was in it if they stumped up £5K plus to put it right though?

This car wasn't bought by/from meridien, the private seller just used them for all the servicing work. Reading the bill it went in for investigation as there was smoke from the right side of the engine which when investigated was caused by a leak from the pump which was then being burnt up by the exhaust
