I drop the car off, all good he says.
He rings me later and says he can't finish as he doesn't have all the parts ????
I tell him to ring Furious and find out what happened, it should be plug and play essentially. He admits he didn't get the Furious kit and got a generic Repco one.
So I told him to remove it all and I picked up the car and fitted the Furious kit myself.
Seriously, is it that hard to do as asked??

Probably better off actually buying the part yourself & have it ready in the car when you drop it off at the mechanics. Saves them having to ring up/order/wait for delivery & just leaves them having to just do the installation.
