I had a new clutch put in my car 3 weeks ago, as the crank shaft oil seal had gone and leaked oil all over clutch, the garage told me he put new oil seals on and put new clutch in.

Now my clutch has started slipping bad, i parked it up and looked underneath, and oil is pissing out inbetween gear box and engine, and leaked oil all over clutch.

When i go to garage again in morning, if he says he wont do the job correctly, and stop oil leak and now he needs to put new clutch in again, if he wont do it, who can a go to to complain.
I supplyed the new clutch kit that he fitted.
Does he have to fix this.?

what garage was this

am i allowed to say on here

why are you putting the garage down before you have even spoken to them ??????? unless it is cowboy outfit you went to most reputable places will look after you. plus faulty parts are not unheard of you know !!!!!

am not putting garage down, am just asking, IF he will not repair it, what can I do.

You do get duff seals sometimes and it can be difficult to tell visually until its done a few miles, on the other hand I have seen them rammed on without any lube in sight which is asking for trouble.

I will go see garage in the morning, and see what he says, hopefully he will be a decent chap, but i can not see him purchasing a new clutch to put in it.

again reputable garge or cowboy outfit ? still speak to them first

its up to you but sounds familar

well I wont post the garage up, he may turn out to be decent and repair it, pm me and i'll tell you if its the same garage

The old-new plate can be cleaned with brake-cleaner, some oil may continue to leach out after cleaning but usually it will burn off as its quite small quantities - don't purposely try and burn it off in one go, it speeds up the leaching and you'll end up having to use brake cleaner again.

It wasn't me haha

bIT PARA THERE CHRIS?

Me, nope, :lol:
On a serious note if the old duff seal has scored the crank chances are slim just fitting a seal will do it

No it wasent Chris, alltho I wish I had of let him do it, if the garage wont repair it, then i will cut my loses and scrap it.

Willo let me know if it's getting scrapped I've a good man who'll come to u pay scrap value at least and take it away

Give trading standards a call they will be able to tell you your rights and atleast then you will know where you stand?

Don't scrap it mate.

I really dont want to, as i have had so much work done to it, all depends on what garage says, am going to see him at 8am this morning

Update:
Just been the garage, he told me to bring it in first thing Tuesday morning and he will sort it out for me. Once its done I will name the garage, as then they have showed they are genuine.

Great news

Update: Car is in the garage now.

Garage just phoned me, box is out of car, i went to see it, and not good news, the spline on gearbox that slides in to clutch, is all wobbly, so bearing has gone and took out the seal, gear box oil had soaked the gearbox, i have just got a recon box and garage is putting it in now with new clutch.

Thats what happened to my burds car, i cleaned the clutch and put a new gearbox in, it slipped a little (it had a new clutch 6 months prior) but then was okay after a week.

the garage said, they did not want to put same clutch back in, and then put another new one in as its slipping further down the line, so he said he will put a new one in free of charge

that sounds like one crackin' garage. a brilliant change

I agree,, and i take back what I said about duff job,
and this is the garage.

He's known as being good. I think you'll find plenty of decent comments about him.

Good outcome anyway.

Mike is a really good guy,has looked after our cars for years. Would recommend him to anyone.

I have allways gone to Mike Hurst, for all car work and mot's on all my past cars and present one.
I remember once I took my fiesta there for mot, and it failed, he told me for it to pass it would cost £187, I said go ahead and do work, the next day I went to pick it up, and he said he had made a mistake on price, ( i thought here we go price increase) but i was shocked when he said it's only £110.
Now how many honest back street garages can you say that would do that.

Car is all done, thanks to

What did I say about puting them down before speaking to them !!
Why does everone asume the worst of garages they are not all bad.

It is the same as everything good and bad in all trades !

I admit I was wrong to jump the gun, lesson learnt

gud to hear your cars sorted Willo

New problem yet again, when I turn right there is a clicking noise from front offside wheel, and there is thick greese all splattered all over the inside of both front wheels, does this mean the cv joint rubbers have gone and cv joints need replacing.
Its starting to look like am rebuilding this car bit by bit. When will it end lol

Sounds like you need a driveshaft mate.
Only a 20 minute fix with the right tools.

Thanks, I wont bother getting them from scrap yard, I will buy them new,, one less thing to worry about. Its a bloody money pit this car.

At least your getting it all sorted thou! Better than letting everything pile up, nice one mate cracking result might be worth filling joint with cv grease first though, I have some you may have

I have just bought today 2 brand new drive shafts, and fitted them, i have nearly replaced every part on this car for brand new parts, i think it's time too sell it now and move on to the next car, i will get 12 month t&t on it first. thanks for the offer Chris, but its sorted now.

Nice one mate.

why get rid just when you have sorted it out you dont know what problems the next one might have ?

Exactly my thoughts

If the gator has failed then thats pointless as the grease will just escape again

To change the rubber you'd have to remove the CV, so if its clicking, just swap the CV - there is probably nothing wrong with the actual shaft

I would've just bought a new rubber gaiter if it's split? The clicking is dry bearings in the CV joint.
