car want into dealers thursday gone but thought i wold put it on ramp at work and give it a good going over myself the day before as the warrenty runs out end of this month. found the near side track rod end had loads of exess play (about 4-5mm realy exessive) and both front headlamps had water ingress so told dealer when i took it in. girl friend picked car up thursday night. she was told headlamps had been changed but they could not get a track rod end untill the following week and that the car would be safe to drive. any way got up friday morning to check lights in the daylight and low and behold you could fit your fingers in between the wing and back of the light and between the front of the bonnet and the top of the light on the off side and the near side lamp is touching the front lip on the bonnet and starting to rub through the paint. called garage on friday afternoon and told them that it was not safe to drive and that the car now looked like it had been bumped and had a poor repair. anyway they told me to take car in on saturday morning to get a new track rod end fitted (even though the could not get hold of one untill the following week.)
took car in this morning but told them to leave the lights alone and i would do them my self (didnt want them to make a bigger balls of them than they already had.) so half an hour later (that was a quick wheel alighnment check after fitting a rod end.) they pull my car round the front. i go out to get the keys and the lad who had pulled the car round says to me that the car looks as though it has been in an accident. (f**king headlamps all over the f**cking place) as you can imagine 2 seconds later my girlfriend was trying to drag me away and get me in the car. after sales service at its best. as i am typing this i am also shoving this rag into this petrol filled milk bottle before i visit them for a third time. (shell v power that is. to try and get it to burn a bit hotter.
