I can tell you where not to go. Duncan and Foster . They could,nt fix a valve on you wheel. Let alone you car head. I have had a very bad experience with them. Luck i check the work or my engine would,nt have lasted a week. I wounder how may jobs have left and blown with no come back to them. The mechanic who assembled the motor would have got the blame. My head had to be used for scrap. $5000. dollars gone.

JapLink aka JLM will do a much better job than D&F down Deadman Rd

I physically saw hammer marks on werx34's new Tomei Poncam made by D&F.

I won't say any more due to the fact that a tribunal claim may be...

Another NSW Member has issues with D&F and I can't say what has happened there either for the same reasons of utter...

Both of those guys might be exchanging notes soon...

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
