Got my mechanic busy today, I even took the day off and he let me help him in his shop........it was awesome....although I often felt like i was useless

) LOL....learnt a heck of a lot....again awesome
He had already changed some things but in the end changed were;
oil switch
thermo
plugs
sound mat
valve adj
crank seal
oil cooler seals
clean clutch (really rusty but in excellent condition)
checked fuel lines...all good
and finally i cleaned the engine, she looks new now.
Re-assembled everything and car feels & drives like new, just got home now
Of course still no response from the dealer....i'm scanning my invoice and emailing to him to see what he says....
