Agreed, I'd snap their hand off Simon, particularly for such a heavily modified car!
Thanks, Nick! 👍

^^^ Indeed, MikeM! But having the engine out to replace two turbos and various other parts (massive parts list on estimate) saves them charging me 8 hours labour to investigate the coolant leak...! Obviously, there may be cost involved in actually fixing the coolant leak...

Yes, Arif. Warranty expired on 6th April. Didn’t extend due to certain mods. ;)

^^^ Indeed! They’re covering 100% of parts costs (a very long list!) with a 25% discount on the labour too! :)
