Thats a very good point...! What if he wiped it out on a speed hump, dropped all his oil and then totally lunched the whole engine...?

Maybe they dropped the sump plug into the bucket. Decided to find something to plug the hole whilst taking the oil pan to find sum plug and the spark plug was the perfect fit.

Taken oil pan to drain to find the sump plug only to see it fall into massive drum of oil. Phone rings a few times, boss is screaming that he needs the host and how long does it take to change oil.

Employee decides to tighten spark plug (correct torque settings of course) and fill oil in attempt to discredit boss.

My theory anyway...

This is shit we have all forgoten things but to fit a spark plug as a sump plug. Even if you droped the plug in the drain tin just pick it up or place another tin under the drips and drain the oil from the tin with the plug in it. This (mechanic) needs to recheck the car and then tell his boss why its back and tell him whagt he did i dont think he will be there long if his nogt gone already. Happy hunting, let them have it i know i would.

Thanks heaps guys for the support :D god knows i need it, coz my little saga gets worse.....

here goes.......

along with fixing my idle problem i had a leaky sump bolt, so they thort they would fix it for me. They thort they would helicoil a new thread in using a particular thread pitch and size 14 by 1.25, this size ONLY, im mean only comes in spark plugs, no compamy makes a bolt in this size it has to be custom made.

so i have to retap it AGAIN to a lagrer size :ermm:

THE EXSUCE - the mechanic who works on my car asked one of coworkers to plug it with something thats fits, and then forgot about it. He says they took his words too literaly to plug it. He was there when the car went out but didnt check it.

all i have to say it PET/GTECH in cambellfeild suck dont go there, im sure there are lots of happy customers but im not one of them.

i dont want to have anything to do with them, no agro no yelling, id rather spend my time with people who give a sh#t about what they do and how they do it, there not worth my time and effort.

they have done some top work for me but this was just down right careless.

if one of my guys even thought of doing that they better pack up their tools and walk before i get to them.

There is no excuse for that, absolutely none.

its people like this that drive the mechanical trade down the shitter and force the good guys to work for f**k all

my partner and i check every single car that leave and make sure everything is 110% no ifs, no buts.

f**k this kind of stuff shits me to no end

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
