[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 367751, member: 4527"] I'm not a lawyer but from your posting, not all cost is lost: 1. Spark plug, not much money here. 2. Ignition coils, since nothing wrong with the "original", keep them as spare or sell them off to us members who need it to recover some money, rather than "yik" the workshop. 3. Now u have a spare ECU, or sell it off to us members who need it rather than "yik" the workshop. 4. Cylinder head, another usable spare here and most probably the workshop has already targeted another customer to sell it and make some money while u scratching your head. Normally workshop very smart, they will say they think its the bla..bla..bla.. The moment u say yes, you have just granted consent to complete the "contract", thus liable for the bill. Unless you tell them if it doesn't solve the problem, u not going to pay! Then they more careful or else they just take u for granted. As for the dealer, they can say they didn't do it. Its sold as is basis and your friend has all the time he needs to inspect, why now only discover? Dealer warranty I suppose over lio... so my unprofessional opinion says your friend is screwed. There is a clause for misleading ads that you might want to invoke but again, this is not my domain. I dare not buy a used BMW without complete service history, just because of fearing this will happen and what your friend faced is not the worst possible thing. The car can be stolen, without proper custom clearance documents and worth nothing in the resell market while the loan must still be serviced and roadtax revoked by JPJ and car impounded by the Kastam. Trust no one! Now please share with us which workshop and dealer is this so other members won't fall prey. [/QUOTE]
