Warning of shonky repairer in Melbourne, Australia

PostPost by: brian wilson » Wed Jun 13, 2012 5:09 am

Enough is enough after paying a well known Lotus repairer and vendor of parts, and having had many problems with the companies parts, service and workmanship. The latest problem is with the so called engine rebuild, the engine has recently been stripped to fix oil leaks and it was found valves were hitting the pistons. Not good for a so called expert!!!

I warn people in Melbourne and Australia to be careful when dealing with this company. you may ask why i have not returned to the company for compensation, the reason being that we are not on speaking terms after i had to rescue the car from them due to inactivity on their part when it came to work.

This latest problem is one of many, i have had with them. The list is huge

Happy to discuss offline if anyone is concerned

Well, that counts me out folks... I live in the bush,
and I?ve been keeping my head down and bum up,
and getting on with keeping our customers happy.

But Brian did mention that:
"The only thing left ok on the Plus 2 are the driveshafts"
And we are very glad to hear that.

BTW... any one want a CV DS conversion?

No shenanigans... No BS, just down to earth,
well engineered, reliable products that work.

Yes it is always a challenge finding people who do good work. Ceejay ( Colin) is one of them who does. My CV drive shafts on the Elan that were the first set he made have had 30 years of racing with no problems !!!! His current versions have had 30 years of development and are a excellent product.

Rohan.
OMG, is it really that long ago since I made that CV DS conversion for you.
Time fly's when you are busy and having fun... and you have certainly had
a lot of fun in your elan with all of the races you have competed in over
that time.
Good to know that the engineering has stood up to the rigorous competition.
Thank you for the kind words and support.

An outer suburb? Is the hint "marks" relevant?
