So, I've had a few niggles with the car of late, so booked it in to get seen to, and to get a wheel allignment done at the same time.
To say it was HUGELY unsuccessful is an understatement!
1/ Wheel allignment - Ive been getting some feedback through the wheel at speed, and suspect the rear wheels are too cambered.
The mechanic took one look at my wheels and refused to do it. He said the machine they have is 10 yr old, and he couldnt guarentee that it wouldnt mark my wheels. And then he realised that they were 19"'s, and said the machine couldnt fit them anywhere.
2/ Squeeling breaks - I was told this wasnt a warranty issue, and they wouldnt investigate until the car came in for a service (in 5000 miles time!)
3/ CD player - the Bose has randomly started thinking it doesnt have CD's in it. A little annoying. I was told they would have to send the full unit off to Nissan for investigation, leaving me without a stereo for as long as it took.
Sod that. I'll suffer until I get an aftermarket unit.
4/ A/C smelling like old socks - The only thing they fixed!! But of anti fungal spray and seems to be ok.
5/ A slight squeek when going over speed bumps from the drivers side. I suspected its the ARB bushes as mentioned in other threads.
The car disapeared into the shop for 90 mins for them to investigate. They gave me the car back and simply said - You have aftermarket coilovers fitted thus you ENTIRE suspension warranty is void. ARBs, Strut braces, everything.
They then charged my £40 for them investigating it, just to tell me it needs further investigation to find the source!
I think I may have turned purple at this point.
Snatched up my keys and walked out.
Dealers, why do we bother?
