Been in tears last 2 days. Sent my van for a cheap spray job and it's come back damaged.

  5. If it's knocked the heat exchangers off, I suspect the crankcase has cracked somewhere.

  6. "I see" said the blind man :D
     
  7. Hard to tell of whats left of the heat exchangers but if they are the later ones they don't go into the head, the early ones go in and would damage the mating surface I would think. They look oval but does not look enough there to go into the head :thinking::thinking::thinking: and I cant be arsed to go back and find and look at the pictures

    The HX ends are missing by the look of the photos. Probably still attached to the heads?
     
  9. I have all my text messages saved which state price job timescales etc.

    When you said he was supposed to "fill" it. What exactly was the deal? Fill the worst bits or properly shape and flat it, and give it back bus shaped?
    Any evidence that anything has been filled?

  15. That is a awful thing to say, there is no way @davidoft would use his rollers on a van, his hair is far more important. He prides himself on the Hilda Ogden look !!

  20. Yes, spoken to one tow truck company who proved it was damaged before they moved it so its down to the company that collected. The sprayer has spoken to him today but yet to update me or give me the companies details.
