Posted September 3, 201014 yr Hi all, I just went past the Garage and I saw what looked like an ugly motor in a trailer and then I saw my car sitting out the front with hood sitting on the roof and the back door up why the back door up is beyound me but who cares they must of found a motor for my car . Since last Thursday it has being pushed out the back out of site and to me forgotten. But now I am excited, gosh I hope this one fits. This is the 3rd motor, the first two were wrong they had different mounts. God I hope they get it right this time. They got the motors out of 4 door Hyundais and my is a 3 door, ha ha different engine mounts. Last week they were already to drop it in and the mounts were different like not there. Yippee could have my car back maybe tonight , no I think I am dreaming but maybe Monday if all goes well. Yes Yes Yes

September 9, 201014 yr Author No car still. It is all finished and running like a dream but they have stuffed the drivers window up, it won't go up or down.

September 10, 201014 yr Author He put seconhand back shockers in it too and he said it is a lot quiter , well boy to me it is rough as, I went over the littlest of bump in the road and I nearly lost my stomache, Feels like my tyres are flat. I think it will be going back for him to check it out next weekend. The bump I am talking about is in the main street so you know just a little rise in the road nothing at all but it felt like I jumped over a speed hump, the front wheels went over good but the back wheels went bang over it , I am posative it wasn't like that before. What a rough ride
September 15, 201014 yr Author Oh really scarey today, coming home fdrom Shepp and I got 3/4 way home and I can here this bang bang noise coming from the front of the car and then much loader, I thought oh no I have done it again how embarressing. I sopping the car put the bonnet up and had my head down in there looking for the problem. The temp said normal so I was hoping this one didn't lie and I thought **** the motor is falling out. Anyway a man and his wife stopped straight away to help and the women was trying to ring the garage to come and get me but we worked out it was a belt breaking there was a big piece hanging off and that was banging aginst everything when the motor was going. The guy said it was the airconditioner belt so even if it broke everything would be okay. I drove it back slowly. Boy did I panick I was thinking I was jinxed. The garage said that next time if I am not sure ring them they will come rather than me drive back and making more$$$$$$$$$ damage than needed.
September 16, 201014 yr I would of thought,if they replaced the motor,they could of replaced the belts,as it must of been in poor condition, to fall apart,in such a short time.Save a $ & cost you $$
