Intrigue, if specific accusations are going to be made they had better be from first hand experience and accurate.

Care to elaborate a bit further. In fairness you cant really go around making accusations like that on hear say.

portlairge

you want exact details
handed in a 98 opel astra for a rocker gasket seal got the car back and it was still leaking oil a week later i ended up having to go to main dealer and get head gasket replaced thwey couldnt even diaganose the problem properly

it cost me a fortune so dont start me

mike65

Ouch, thats bad, one is about 3 inches above the other. Easy to spot. They did'nt bother checking to see if what you said was accurate by the sounds of it.
