12 hours from now, I most likely will be banned from this forum. I going to tell you guys a true story about the sad state of the mechanical trade and one particular person whom most of you know and may hold a high opinion of. As I have said in previous posts I'm not one to flame mechanics in a public forum but this is a very special case as I don't want what has happened to me to be suffered by anyone else.

Can you say which state ?

It'd be NSW.
 
Mate, if you just tell the truth & refrain from jumping to aggressive conclusions, then you should not be banned/suspended etc. Besides, the said person isn't even on the forums anyway.

I shall be a picture of restraint and self control. Scouts honor

LOL, you cannot get banned for telling the truth.
 
just make sure you tell the truth, the WHOLE turth and nothing but the truth.....
 
and don't tell us "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

After some reflection I have come to the conclusion that flaming anyone in an open forum is for starters, well beneath me and also not in the spirit of what I believe this forum represents. However, for anyone who feels they might benefit from knowing what has transpired, feel free to pm me and I can tell you in great detail how you (if you are unlucky enough to pick the wrong mechanic) can throw $2000+ at a car and get it back in worse condition than before it was worked on.

How did the mechanic explain himself after replacing so many parts with no result?
The cooling system in these cars is not that complex, it's not hard to determine what the problem is when an MR2 is overheating without changing one part after another.
I didn't read every post in this thread but did he use that tool that checks for exhaust gases in the cooling system first?

Did pressure tests, compression test, gas test. Was told that the test results were all positive. Wether you would believe what this joker was telling me is another issue

Spill the beans , if you are 100% that they did something stupid. Lets see if somehow it can be fixed.
 
Naming isnt an issue if they genuinely made a mistake.
 
I recall on my first build , mechanic forgot to torque down and add some loctite of the oil pump gear.
 
Lucky i was warming the engine in the garage when all of a sudden i could hear a scraping sound.
 Stopped the engine gave them a call and they came over. Took the cam cover off and there it was at an angle. To say he was red faced was an understatement.
 
Needless to say i havent used them for my SC engine build and will  never ever use them again.
 
This is a mistake not total negligence but if something went wrong they would of paid for the repairs

So what's happening with the MR2?
