It sucks having to pay for things twice, I feel your pain. After my new engine went in there were plenty of fuck ups that had to be rectified by the tuner before he could think about tuning the car. Then my new clutch gave up, turns out the thrust bearing was not replaced and the flywheel wasn't machined correctly.

So out comes my wallet again. Same scenario for me being that the mechanic was a very experienced Subaru mechanic and should have done a better job with all of it.

Good luck getting it sorted mate. I recently had a good experience with Mick from Japline if that's any help.
