[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 498344, member: 20098"] I highly highly doubt that was anywhere near cost price, hence the big reduction. My thoughts are that the money off meant what we paid ended being break even point for them. I've done a bit of googling and can't find any similar / common issues of this nature, although the mechanic at the garage did say he did an identical job a few years back, so maybe not a completely isolated case. Well the inspection was today - it turned out to be a burnt out exhaust valve with a fair size chunk missing. Inspector has categorised it as premature failure, so will get a report shortly. Will be doing some letter writing and see where that gets us. [/QUOTE]
