Glad you enjoyed it.

It's very interesting that Peter doesn't do a thing to respond to all the masses of negative feedback in any other way than to try and make the complainant look bad and lie his way out of it however.

However, I have more and more irrefutable proof that this chap lies through his teeth and absolutely does rip people off by not doing work he charges for and parts he in reality doesn't buy let alone fit.

If you find that amusing, good for you!

I however being at the receiving end of this mans terrible workmanship, rip offs and constant lies don't, funnily enough.

I'll be posting up the proof from an independent garage about the state of the conversion, the emails from TRE stating quite clearly that the pump he fitted was definitely not one of theirs, the hilarious attempt at setting the tracking on my car, the proof that I didn't constantly pile work on him or that there was any delay in him getting parts as 90% of them were with him before he even took delivery of my car, the cops confirming that there was no reported theft from any motor vehicle belonging to his household or business when my car keys were "stolen" 2 days after he got the car and all manner of stuff he will doubtless try and squirm out of.

Im sure the vat/taxman will be just fascinated to hear and see the proof from myself and others about work not done and parts never supplied and fitted but charged for.

Now that, should it have to go that far really will be something to laugh at.

I have no doubt Peter will have his usual lying, bullshit twist on this to add here online, and that's just fine.

But I think perhaps that it may just dig the hole he is now in even deeper.

The entire business transaction between myself and Sbits is over, but that does not mean I won't be exposing what this charlatan is all about like many others.

It's just this time I have absolute proof that he ripped me off.

Kind of reminds me of a similar guy over here in New Zealand.

He was pretty much the reason I left the MR Club over here because the situation was even worse. He was on the FORUM and used it to promote his business and attract customers.

It was a few years ago now, perhaps before Facebook really took off and could be used as a vehicle for self promotion.

Not sure if he is still about, another guy on the Forum spent a small fortune on a MR2 Turbo rebuild and could only get 200kW out of it.

Hopefully the wheels fell of whatever he was driving at high speed because he only put one wheel nut on. Seriously I remember thinking I wouldn't even let the guy put petrol in my car.

Best of luck to you sorting it out. What I would say is just posting up the FACTS on a forum like this will be the death of any bad business.

If you are capable of doing all the work on your car without ever needing the services of a MR2 specialist then such insouciance is understandable. However not all of us, for various reasons, are in such a fortunate position. Whatever entertainment value it may have is far outweighed by more serious considerations

IF (I repeat IF) any trader is deceiving paying customers in respect of parts supplied and fitted and/or performing sub-standard workmanship then it does the entire MR2 community a massive disservice. Something we should all be concerned about. Especially given that such traders are not exactly plentiful. The nearest one to me is a 110 mile round trip. The next nearest is double that.

Something else which anyone affected should do - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consu ... standards/
It won't give you any redress but if enough complants are received it might prompt TS to investigate and take action.

Bear in mind that the CRA 2015 does not deprive you of any other course which is legally open to you. Note that it confers rights: it does not impose obligations. IOW it does not preclude you from taking your car to another trader to have the issues rectified and then claim the cost from the original trader, in which case it would be essential to notify the trader of your intentions in writing and get several quotes along with expert evidence to support your claim.*

This route is not for the faint hearted and/or anyone who is unwilling/unable to afford the costs involved if the trader refuses to play ball and you have to resort to litigation (only some of which would be recoverable if you win).
