the workshop is liable regardless of what they think or argue. you provided your car for "services" and in turn its in their duty of care. this inckudes making reasonable steps to protect your asset. if they continue to argue and legal case yields zero then plaster their name on every forum once you are allowed to and watch the workshop melt to nothing. business exists to make a profit but it must also accept reasonable liability inthe process of. much the same as if someone dropped an engine crane on the car whilst it was inside the workshop

if the truck and who ever picked it up made representation they were from "workshop" then the workshops liability insurance wouldcover any damages by employees or former employees making representation as the "workshop". i thnk youll be ok, let the cops do their bit then talk to wrkshop and ask why wont their liability insurance cover it. thats the point of liability insurance

White truck - no trading name on it

The legal advise I have from a high priced lawyer is that the workshop where the car was meant to go to has no responsibility or liability at all as the vehicle never went there.

The liability sits with the people that mis-represented themselves. It does help that they have supplied a FAKE receipt from the workshop it was meant to go to.

I have learnt that 2 other people are in a similar situation. 1 person has $28K worth of damage done. The other I do not know details of.

I have a feeling that the person with the 28K damage is going to "employ" a few debt collectors and both of us will receive every cent we are owed in damages. I have asked this person not to tell me the details. I don't want to know.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
