Not a penny. *hugs company credit card*

And at £2000 for the set, you'd bloody hope so too.

Ask them to email you photos, you can then send them on to the other dealer. They did say they'd been tampered with.

I would be pushing the supplying dealer first and foremost, you've nothing to lose there at all. Has the current garage shown you these damaged wires?

Fiat 500s are not driven by ugly people, ever.

It's 100% to do with how they drive. Torque-steering, no feedback, gruff engines, just dire. This is the R56 though, never driven an early one. Pretty to look at, I'll admit that.

Trust? Politics? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope. Never. It'll all be fine. Nothing will really change in the end, promise.

Minis are sh*t. Hate the spiteful things.

Exactly. It's worked perfectly fine for the last few hundred years...

Not tried them myself yet, but I know people who have and say the 4 are better than MPSS, and I trust their judgement.

Hopefully less of a problem than originally thought, fingers crossed Get them to show you these dodgy wires, I reckon.

Free check is always good, just keep an eye on the costs if they offer to make changes for you. A specialist will be able to change the settings to make the car handle how *you* want, more generic places will simply put it back to the default understeer Nissan settings. Not a bad thing if it was miles out, but you can do better.

Don't poke the angry Scot!!!11 Back on track, this is a great article

I knew that's what you were getting at Suffice to say I know your feelings on the matter, and I suspect you can guess mine. For Lexx's sanity, let's agree to leave it there.

I agree, however: Ombudsman has no teeth (check out the current issue with Merc and the scrubbing under full lock) Credit card will likely push you to go through court at this time, although a good option and one I'd not considered tbh. Court I wouldn't chance unless I knew the cost to repair the car was upwards of £3000.

Looks Korean. And I don't mean in a good way.

I think you mean we're, not you're. But yes, it's going to be a clusterf*ck of epic proportions. Let's not forget we have both French and German elections midway through, so they're going to be a trifle busy sorting that out and then when they get new leaders BLAMMO we all get to start again. Highly unlikely a proper deal will be done within two years. More likely we'll get a duplicate of what we have now, or we'll go full WTO.

Imagine I'm the supplying dealer. In comes a customer who bought a car off me three months ago. He says that the wiring is butchered around the gearbox. The car has been fine up until now. Another garage has changed bits, and the owner himself has modified it in his ownership so it puts out more power. I don't have any recollection of any issues at all, and the car has been fine for months. I'm unlikely to see the customer again, it's been a tight month and tbh I can't see an easy fix so this is going to cost me money. The owner has faffed around with it, personally I quite fancy my chances in court as I reckon I have a good chance of proving that the fault wasn't there on purchase as otherwise it would've started smoking straight away, and I have a good PDI to prove it. Nope, I'm not taking the car back, but I will look at it for him and potentially charge for repairs. Is just one scenario. If the car hadn't been modified, and the other garage hadn't already touched it, then yes it's a slam dunk take it back. In this case, it's questionable.

Oh there's plenty of adjustment in the standard suspension setup to take the car from understeering dullard to snap oversteer hero Alignments should be carried out every 12mths minimum, and personally I always get one done as a priority when buying a new car just so I know everything under there is fine.

I still suspect the geo, sounds like it's far too aggressive in terms of camber on the rear possibly.

On a side note, our local MP came to Jo's school the other day to congratulate her on her Ofsted results (in less than a year as Acting Head, only having been a Deputy for 3 months prior, she took the school from a dead cert inadequate to Good with elements of Outstanding ) and I got her to ask him to get me some tickets to PMQs

The most they can hold anything up for is 364 days, which of course would be a bit of a pain in the Brexit case Ooh, bin them off and then open the HoL to the public to have meetings in: I bet they'd make a fortune!

RE050A are a very good tyre, certainly in the wet. I'd be checking the tracking at a first point, confirm that's alright first of all. Assuming it is, then skip all of those and go to the MPS4.

No-one votes for the Prime Minister. You vote for your local MP.

2015 dude! :lol:
