General Discussion Area / elitepete a big THANKYOU
« on: 25 November 2010, 16:07:16 »
i would personally like to thank (elite)pete for travelling over from chester to york to work on my car, i needed cambelt doing, manifold gasket and camcover gaskets, im handy with spanners etc but felt these jobs were way beyond me 
and two local garages i took it to, there was a lot of sucking of teeth 
anyway pete arrived early wednesday in the freezing cold and got started straight away, before i knew it there was bits of my car flying off everywhere 
half of them i have never seen before 
but with explanations all the way i am more aware of what happens in my car engine (i think) :-/
pete managed to do the manifold gasket,cambelt,waterpump,tensioner,camcover gaskets and fitted a new aux belt tensioner that i had oh and a new HBV, cleaning everything as he went, he then went on to clean out the breathers (the crap that came out of them) done an oil change and replaced antifreeze, all gm parts and fluids, by this time i had the most important job (CHIEF LIGHTHOLDER) 
i am still gobsmacked how he managed to do it all in the one day especially when having to take off plenum again because one of the O seals had done a runner (promised i wouldnt tell) 
all in all a really professional job by a true professional for a remarkably low price and car is running better than ever 8-)
i would recomend pete to anyone who wants work doing, well on their cars anyways
cheers pete
