Sadly no, combination of too far to go, too high insurance costs and it seeming too good to be true. The people selling were a bit fishy to be honest, so might be a 91 rover city

I'm in a similar position. Can you go back and try and get a refund (maybe at least a partial one) as I assume you don't want the same guy working on it again. At least that way you've got some money to put towards getting the job done right. It can be pretty depressing finding something like this though.

Unfortunately I don't think I can. It was a cash job.

Surely that's better than having to drag them out of bed? :P

Slowly but surely, the box is now being refurbished, went to a local refurbishes on Friday (was planning on sending it to guess works but the garage didn't think much of sending it down to near London from up here near Sheffield), but this local guy he has taken it to is also a mini engine and gearbox guy (don't know who). So im guessing the box will be ready Monday, refitted Tuesday and ready for me picking to car up Wednesday.... hopefully :)

By the time I get to work on Monday it will go back to looking like it did. At least it is clean until then.

Urgh be careful! I have one of these on my work van and most of the time doesn't start after 3 days because it's drained the battery :(

I think that could be a fairly decent idea, you'd need to amp the output for the audio though otherwise it would sound abit naff
