just been tearin my hair out for the past week trying to get my car to start after extractors were fitted by a local shop. (so tempted to name them here). Anyways, to even get the extractors close to fitting they had to grind away half my inlet manifold(coolant passages) and stick the pipes in a metal vice to even get them close(doesn't that defeat the purpose of extractors anyway when the pipes need to be squished). They look shi##y and my car still wont start cos they dont bolt up to the head properly. You gotta hate the feeling you get when you work on your car yourself, take pride and everything goes smoothly. But when you hand it over to someone else it comes back fu@%ed. I am now left with bin job inlet manifold. a dented, odd fitting set of extractors and a car that wont start. Oh yeah and oddly enough the exhaust shop dont wanna hear about it.

Go on name them.

oh yeah and i apologise if i offended anyone with my bad language

Have you sorted out the not starting problem?

You should name them, I won't mention it to anyone

BBB better buisness beuaru. they will nail a shops a$$ if the do faulty work on things having to do with cars. all shops that do work are liable. if they messed ur car up they have to fix it. if some dubc son of a b tried saying "we dont wanna hear about it" id go to his shop and knock his head in.
at least get your money back for the labor and flawed(dented peices).

nope still haven got it started. i need a new inlet manifold first and then i will need new extractorst too. I am expolring legal options. when it comes down to it despite the fact they had to grind and bend, the car does not go because of what they have done. eventually i had to tow it home, cos they spent 2 days trying to figure out why it wont start, then tried to blame it on my carby.

What type of extractors were they?

Maybe in AU, you'll have better luck getting things fixed.

It becomes a game of he said - she said and the shop rarely ever takes responsibility for breaking anything.

Sounds like it was a back alley shop or like we say here in the southeast a shadetree mechanic.!!!!
