Hi all, seeking help from you experts out there. I have had a crack where the vertical tube joins the chassis rail just behind the lower suspension mounting point and it has been repaired under the global recall system F.O.C. The engine had to be removed to replace the rear crankshaft oil seal which I probably blew by trying to start a wet sumped engine during the Covid lay up. I was given to believe that the engine had to come out to repair the crack therefore the labour charge would simple be for replacing the seal.
The Factory now tell me that the repair could have been expedited with the engine in situ and have charged me accordingly.
So my question is simply, in your opinion did the engine have to be removed for the repair to be effected?
