Depressing day at Dastek

[Fizzy]

How to spend a lot of money and go home on the back of an RAC truck....car was working fine, drove into workshop and alternator packed in resulting in massive voltage drop - no fault of dastek but it did take them 6 hours to realise this! So I got the bus home so to say! What are the chances of that happening?? Ive booked back again next month.....better luck next time eh?

I took my mk1 sc in to Torque Developments in Barking Essex to get the set up right.
I sat around for nearly 4 hours for them to sort it,they had it on the rolling road and all they came up with was that i neede a new throttle control valve!

Cost me over £350 for them to tell me that.Left there and the car was still running like a pig.

I let Pete Mason take it to his local garage and they sorted the problem,mainly the problem was a dodgy Thermostat.

Maybe i should have worked that out for myself but when you take a car to a well known garage,i would have thought they should have known what the problem was!!

my thoughts exactly....6 hors to work out the alternator was shot! Thankfully they only charged me for 2 but what a xxxx day of waiting around for nothing!

Not good mate Cant fault Dastek for it tho as you rightly mention as they are there to tune the car not carry out an inspection of every component. I was a bit gutted that my power was getting sapped by det high up the rev range but I'll get it sorted and back down to them soon.
