Steve Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Surely there is a legal standing against the garage you purchased the car from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Shrek Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 which garage was it and how much did you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi,there is no such thing as sold as seen if its a garage thats selling the car, if its a private sale you have not got a leg to stand on but if its a motor trader the old phrase "sold as seen" is illegalGet onto trading standards.On another note we would buy the car and repair it by fully re building the engine and using forged pistons and ARP head studs as a minimum safe build good for 400 BHP.PM me with a priceKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 As kev says, no such thing.Phone up tomorrow and tell him your going to trading standards if its not sorted out....Which garage was it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi,we at the clinic have purchased Jasons car, and a nice car it is too apart from whoever had been at the engine, what a mess, wrong bolts, missing bolts, loose bolts, secondary air pump not even there, injector guards missing,Car shows all the signs of once being modified, then put back to standard, but roughly, chances are it was mapped to the upgrades, then they got removed and the map not re done to suit the now standard car hence it melted a piston.When I say melted I mean leak down test showed leakage past the piston and past both inlet and exhaust valves due to debris from the melted piston possibly going through the valves and seats.A proper engine from stock going in as the original is in such a mess its complete scrap.At least it will save a GB270 from the scrap yard, a few scuffs to sort in our paint-shop and a very nice example will be back up for grabs.I do hope this bad experience has not put the O/P, Jason off a Subaru because a good one is something that you will treasure, nothing else compares.CheersKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
