[928uk] legal advice

Youi need them to tell you what the crank end float is now, in order to determine whether the engine in the car is in fact OK. (which sounds very doubtful to me)

You also need to do the same check on your "new" engine.

  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?

    I have a problem with my 928 - I don't have it.  I'm looking for a recommendation of any solicitors who are good at dealing with garage disputes, maybe Graham has gone down this route already?  Briefly it goes back to last June when I put my 928 into a Porsche specialist in Glasgow for timing belt and a high tickover problem.  When I picked it up I didn't pay cause he didn't have the bill ready but after driving 30 miles it started stalling.  It went back and he diagnosed TBF and a new engine.  I sourced my own engine and then 3 weeks later (he was in hospital) he told me he released the flex plate and engine running ok but I was due over £1000 for earlier work!! I had already spent £500 on a new engine plus over £200 total delivery.  Furthermore that worked out about £600 to sort out the high tickover!  Any advice welcome.
