[928uk] legal advice

[Paul R Smith]

A thrust bearing isn't repaired by relieving the flex-plate pre-load, 
all that has done is releive the symptoms. So you still probably need 
the replacement engine.

How much time did they spend on the idle problem and what new parts did 
they fit?

What are you disputing with the garage, the cost of fixing the high 
idle, or the money you have spent on the spare engine?
