Thanks again for the welcomes.

One fully primed ready fpr paint. How much u looking at paying?

Name a price...

We have new ones on our website

Thanks Idrees!

Ill second that. Some of your posts have saved my ass after a quick search on there! Don't think we've ever actually spoken though!

Thanks alot for the feedback.

Any questions/issues then feel free to ask away... If i dont know the answer i will certainly find out.

Good stuff, hows it running? I never seen the gt, having said that i was in the que most of the day lol, No much, thinking about breaking it up.

Thats the thing... its not I unfortunately snapped a crankshaft cap so its currently being rebuilt. All the years of abuse and probably overrevving on the dyno that caused it to fail. Why would you do that after everything youve done to get to this stage? It seem sluggish off the line but picked up really well once it got going.

A great asset to UKSO after providing help on TGTT for years ;)

Support its greatly appreciated Malc!

Welcome along Iain, you still got the gt?

Sure do, was up at Crail on Sunday mate. Whats going on with the V?

Hello all,

Im sure some of you may know me already but for those who dont, i'm Iain and the owner of C.R Developments UK (name soon to change) and CRD has been around since 2009.

The reason why i havent used this forum in quite sometime... was because i originally applied to be a trader on the previous forum (uksc). At the time i divulged abit too much information to the previous admin who then decided to ignore my request and instead start a business himself based on that information.

However it is a fresh start and if anyone requires any technical advice then i would be glad to help as much as i can.

How do i apply?

Iain

Glad you posted up Ian to put your side of the story, now it makes a bit more sense. I guess the original query is why he says it cost £500 and not £250? I guess that was the original argument, no offence intended!

Im glad i noticed this post, i was actually considoring applying to be a trader within this forum when i decided to check up on any previous feedback within this forum as im hardly on it.

Craig paid me in full of £250 and i explained it could be potentially another £250 (issue dependant) to strip the engine back out and try to locate the problem, he must have his wires crossed somewhere. I should have the invoice lying around also which i will dig out.

Give me a call... number sent via pm.

I am Iain@CRD and i would just like to set the record straight.

First off the job price was £250 including Labour and ALL PARTS to replace the headgasket and waterpump. I never opted for a quick flip or to make a quick buck on this job or any job, i went to the full extent of stripping the engine out (which i normally charge £150 out, £150 in for) so i can assist a fellow member on getting there car on the road to enjoy.

Secondly, i received the car not running and i was told it was the headgasket that was gone and that was the job to be done, as far as he was concerned there was no other issues with the car... which i need to take his word on as i havent seen or heard it running. The engine was partially stripped already before the car arrived, it was in a sorry state as it appeared the expansion tank has exploded within the engine bay.

I always use Toyota genuine gaskets from the Linwood branch in Paisley, the water pump was a blueprint supplied by my local Dingbro.

As soon as the rebuild and job was complete the car was ran and it had a noticable amount of a smoke exiting the rear exhaust, which appeared to be burning oil. At this stage i phoned the customer immediately and told him the scenario, as this was not included within the original job there was nothing else i could possibly do and offered the option of me stripping it back down to find the issue and resolve it to which he declined.

I would like to state that i am not in this business to rip people off and when a customer has a problem i expect them to get in touch, i tried to offer Craig as much help as i possibly could as i felt alot of sympathy for him to have an underlining issue that both of us where unaware of. I never elected to have this job to screw anyone over and i have always tried to be as helpful as i possibly can to every customer as this business is a true passion for me.

I try my absolute best to provide an excellent service and to maintain my reputation within the community, i literally work 3 different jobs aswell as running a business... so to read the above posts has totally gutted me. I dedicate every spare minute within my day to help customers resolve there issues to allow them to enjoy there car.

Send me over a price.

Kenny Brown in Hillington without a doubt
