engine gone rebuild or replace
- Thread starter big phill
- Start date
ok been in the garage for the weekend and they have said its the crank positioning sensor (or sounds something like that)
and its gonna cost me £353 including vat
also said thet the compression loss was within the limits so the other garage was either not in the know or just tring to cover there arses coz of the wrong order of the ht leads
so hopefully i'll have it back within a couple of days

HOLY ****, is the sensor expensive or is it the labour?!?!
bit of both part is about £150+vat so £176 then 2-3 hours labour and then they have to put in new plugs and set it all up on the ecu plus the hour or so on finding the problem, clearing the codes and checking the compression
so not that bad really i mean 4 ish hours will cost about £140+ vat so £164.50 parts and labour without the plugs that need replacing will cost about £340 plugs about £15-20
lot of money to change the sensor but apparently its under the car i don't have any decent axel stands so let them do it

There's no F in Quality..
Good to hear you got the HT leads sorted
That does seem expensive just to change the Hall Sender.... but at least you'll hopefully get it sorted finally !!

Go on mate take her for a good run, nothing like a quiet night on the roads and a valver singing away to you!
just got back (time to feed caden) exhaust sounds like it might be blowing a bit i feel like this smilie
a constant battle between going fast and breaking down ahh well it'll stay like that till i get some money together, it might just be the fact i've not had a good drive for a whileand got to get used to the growl again
