Well not the outcome I was expecting the car is going back to the dealer and I'm to have a full refund. The dealer can't find what the problem is, they offered another car but have nothing we want at our price so they are refunding what we paid. I was hoping they would find the noise and report it t...

Well the cars away back in to dealer on Tuesday, I asked to speak to the mechanic working on my car. I asked what he had done so far, he had tried replacing various parts with no joy including lower arm & drop links I asked if he had checked anti roll bar bushes & drop links he said when he disconne...

Hi Guy's Mike thanks again for your input first class, I went back to complain about the missing shield which they fitted I also told them they had moved something because the steering wheel was well out of line whilst driving straight, was fine when it went in, they also done wheel alignment. I'm g...

Thanks again Mike No time today to get below car but I did get a quick look below front end to see what they have been up to and to my disgust they haven't refitted the huge plastic under tray which goes from the front bumper right back about 6 ft prob 2.5 ft wide, this means that all the pipes etc ...

Thanks a lot for that Mike great post will help more people than me I would think, I will examine the bushes talked about in your post.

Mike/Phil Thanks for your input Mike, I will get it up on my wee ramps & check all bushes & drop links myself before taking it back to the stealers who don't seem to be too clever (already had dealings with them). When driving the car to Glasgow last night (full tank) I noticed when braking & coming...
