Short version.
Mechanic diagnosed car as requiring Master cylinder for hydraulic clutch. Did a clutch kit instead requiring gearbox removal.
Did not fix leaking hydraulics, so clutch failed again 3 days after vehicle returned as "repaired".
Put gearbox in significantly beyond manufactures specs, results, crunch, grind, twang!
Told gearbox HAD to be in that position to function!!
Of the unauthorised work they completed the following already failng or requires adjustment (2 weeks later)
* rear engine seal leaking
* clutch adjustment required
* gearbox has been moved (by another mechanic) back to correct position. Possible damge from extreme rear position
*clutch kit noise
Of the authorised work work they performed the
* replaced rocker cover gasket leaking in same place as before work
* hydraulic clutch needs adjustment
What a Joke. Mechanic has apparently, accidently before printing, over written the quote on his tablet he had us sign.
1 of the triplicate copies of the invoice we were asked to sign when given the car back turns out to have been a work authorisation for the work we didn't know about!!
Atleast 4 different Lube Mobile ACT mechanics were involved in this debacle. May have been one responsible for original scam but the others have deliberately decieved us and not fixed the car.
