Rover is back from rover shop and still wounded

[smrover1]

After 6 months of being at independent rover shop. Rover got towed back to my house.
This was my worst experience with a shop ever. I will b looking from help from discoweb to fixing my idle problem and stumbling. The battery is stone dead and the brake line rotted from sitting for 6 months i need to fix them items first before i can even drive and diagnose the idle problem.
It still blows my mind how you can specialize in only rovers have it for 6 months and give it back to me in worst shape hell i drove it 50 miles there and had to have it towed home.

 

[Rover from hell]

6 months ! you have more patience then i do. What is the name of the shop.. I hope you didn't pay them in full.

 

[boatboy]

That is ridiculous. I encountered a shop like that once. They are out of business now and good riddance! I hope you didn't give him any money for the privilege of storing your truck outside.

 

[smrover1]

No didnt charge me anything and he shouldnt of. Im going to take battery to work with me today and charge it all day today. Name of shop is trail head 4x4 I hate bad mouthing shops but i feel like he didnt help me out a damn bit dont return phone calls Just not a good experience

Isn't this the shop that makes the upgraded oil cooler lines for V8 defenders?

we have a shop here in town that is notorious for snatching people's cars for over 6 months. The reputable shop shops around here (i like to think im one) are pretty certain they are just moving one bad D2 engine to the next sucker's rig and keeping the good one for themselves. I'm scared to even suggest a D2 to anyone in this area unless I personally know the history.

Ya , but one of the victims are usually wrong

 

[smrover1]

I'm not on here to stir up trouble I feel this rover shop didn't try very hard to fix my problem and might need assistance from discoweb

You seem to have a decent reputation.


All the rest of the shops in Portland seems to have a very large inventory of parts rigs that litter the entire block around the shop.


Thing is where I live on the west side I see so many daily driven D2s. They are everywhere. Someone obviously is keeping them on the road.

I have to ask why anyone would leave their car in a shop for 6 months unless they had a frame-off restoration being done or they had some ultra-rare car that needed an unusual hard to find part or needed to have something specially made from scratch?

Ya that's what I was thinking . Nothing like fixing a problem job long distance . But lets hear the whole problem maybe we get lucky . Even though we are a bunch of fuck sticks .

Or somebody wouldn't authorize more time ?

More time than six months? He didn't know what the problem is and just gave up on it and probably set it aside? That is why it was there for six months The same problem still exists as when I dropped it off I don't know what else to say? If u know the owner that's great my experience wasn't great and rover is still broke he didn't charge me cause he knew it was still broke

 

[smrover1]

The whole problem has been the truck started stumbling real bad on way to work then went into high idle around 2000 rpm now since I have truck back idle keeps reving up and down haven't got to drive it yet cause of blown brake line

Are you able to check vacuum lines, air intake, fuel pressure, tps (resistance with an ohm meter)?

Not being a fuck wipe or stick.... My question is, what is your ability to test certain, simple items?
