kaput in Deutschland

Update

New engine just arrived from Italy.
Insurance company came good on the promise of FULL HAZMAT treatment.
Two full days of fumigation and deep cleaning has been done.
New clutch ordered as well.

Installation will begin on Monday.

New super duper hifi system all ready to go in when I get it back.

Plan to take my son mountain climbing in Wales for the first trip out
 
Monday afternoon

In my mind the old engine is now out and the mechanics are just sitting down for a nice brew before tackling the new one.:cheers:
 
You should be up and running again before the end of the week then, just don't let them drink too much tea until the job is done.
 
Tuesday afternoon

I like to think of them saying to each other, "This is an important client (two regular cars) so we better not rush things. Let's have another brew before we put the new clutch in"

Wrong engine sent by supplier

They sent a non turbo one:cry:

And they have the cheek to try to blame me.

I provided VIN and vehicle reg and yet they still got it wrong

I think I have a Virtue

Turns out Lianne got all muddled with engine codes and such

They will of course ship me another correct one at no extra cost......in 10 days:dance:

I am in admiration at you patience and ability to appear to keep smiling, I would be pulling (what little`s left) hair out!
 
Shouting and ranting will not speed things up any.

I would not feel better if I made Lianne cry

C'est la vie
 
May be a blessing in disguise, I would have thought the turbo lump was a few quid more expensive, have you only paid for the Non turbo?
 
Would be good
Think it is a difference in compression or piston swirl pots ...keeping my old turbo anyway
 
Grand scheme of things it is nothing

We may have had two weeks away in that time period.

Not booking the channel crossing for next summers Scandi-fest yet though.
