Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013

[Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013]

I was due to take mine in to Jemca - Reading last week but they cancelled it as the parts are on back order apparently, they didn't know when they were getting them back in so didn't even book a future date.  Anyone else had this regardless of location?

While looking to buy my 86 I visited Jemca Bracknell and was really surprised at how poorly the car they had was prepared for sale. Was approved used as well! May or may not be an indication of their standards as a whole, but it gave me a poor impression of the place!

Yeah it certainly doesn't surprise me to be honest, it's why I normally go to Reading instead for any servicing

Has anyone had their recall performed by Jemca Reading or Jemca Bracknell yet? I've seen one guy on the other forum used Reading and has an oil leak which fills me with dread 😕

It didn't happen, they weren't ready and she was misled. She still hasn't had it done as far as I know. I knew that would be the case and they said to her they would do it in two days which is totally unrealistic. 

Yeah I figured as much, I'll give it another week before I call i think

I had a feeling that may be the case! 🤣I suspect my friend will find out tonight! 

How did this go by the way, looking to book mine in to Jemca Reading once I'm sure they're adequately prepped :)

@Rob230 I have a friend who's car is going into Jemca Reading tomorrow night. She said that they have told her it will be ready for Saturday. I have my doubts! But good luck.

 

 

 

That's strange as I spoke to them yesterday and they said they didn't have all the tools yet and their techs were yet to be trained in the specific procedure. Maybe they gave me old information though, I wish your friend the best of luck!

Just registered today after being a lurker for a year, I have a 2013 car too, i'll be using Jemca in Reading for the recall eventually, I'm a little unsure about if i want to be their first though :) 

 

Thanks for the updates Lauren, I only found out about this from seeing posts of FRS on fire in the r/ft86 subreddit so it's nice to see some more reassuring information in here and gt86ownersclub.co.uk
