Glad Rob could get it sorted Laura. I understand the last mechanic who worked on the engine made a bit of a hash of it.

Nice result for an XE...

WTF
how the feck did that work then
surely a shed load of hissing no compression and definately no fire up

**danielleG** · 12-03-2007 17:01

its good to hear the place done a good job, my mates car was screwed there, although they refunded him-it still left him majorly out of pocket getting it fixed! hearing they done a good job makes me more inclined to want to visit.

Well it was tight on the block, so much so the bolts (without washers) squashed into the head! Name and shame then Laura, big thumbs up to SES in Braintree that sorted it all out for her!

**MarkW** · 12-03-2007 20:36

Yeah, name and shame.

Whats the spec on your engine then?

**japcav** · 14-03-2007 08:38

the work done to the engine is

compresion ratio raised
ported head
kent cams
fse boost valve
uni chipp
re map ( by paul at engine advantages )
Knife matched inlet & exhaust chambers
Sbd fast road manifold
Full stainless steel custom 2.5” bore exaughst system with decat
Enlarged throttle body
Crane adjustable venire pullys
Swirl valve
cool running thermostat
induction kit

as for the person that done the work to the engine, although these werent little cable ties left they were mahoosive... they are a friend and its just one of those things ( ok it cost me over £200 to get it sorted ) but they have done me alot of favours and im not going to go blameing anyone....

i am not to happy to have my car blasted about though by ANYONE who works on it, and then they get pulled weather it was for my tints or not, the car should not have been on the road....

WHAT???? You dont expect someone to work on an engine and not ensure theyre work is ok? It wasnt 'blasting' as he would have got nicked for speeding, its because the tints were too dark?

**Dave GSiT** · 14-03-2007 14:00

Am I missing something here?

Sorry but what you are saying there is just a bit immature lol!!! It was due to the tinted windows from what i was told. Something which you have been pulled over before too apparently? A simple warning would of been curtieous imo. Plus how could Rob check the engine was running well without taking it out? I'd expect any mechanic to take the car out to check all was working as it should, i would of said its common sence.

Id have said sense lmao

**A2!** · 14-03-2007 22:24

lmao

**Brian Stirrup** · 15-03-2007 19:27

I take it Rob took it for a quick test to check it all run well then? Normal practice usually, especially if you take to a dealer for any engine or suspension work.

**daddy cav** · 17-05-2010 20:25

This thread is old but I'd just like to say that I had nothing to do with securing a head with cable ties .
Read this 3 years ago but had a weird dream about it .... must have nothing better to think about .
I don't even think anyone could think it was me but there you go ...
How is that possible anyway ? wouldn't they melt .
