So after a few trips into seat they finally agreed something was wrong with my handbrake and it shouldn't be so hard or noisy when pulled!

Cables were replaced today so it's really nice, after a year of ownership, to have a silent handbrake! :D

I think I'll try it on with mine then.

I've still got so many niggling problems for them to sort. Got a list of about 5 or 6.

It's so nice :D basically they said it had sticky brake cables (after the week before saying there was nothing wrong with it) and it will be replaced under warranty by SEAT. Gotta say on the whole liverpool seat have been good so far! Far better than my dealer in Darlington...

Seriously? It's interesting how 2 different people can have 2 completely different experiences at the same dealership. They were absolute retards when I dealt with them, and I still haven't recieved a reply from the letter I sent, telling them what I thought about their service...

I think that shows just how bad my local dealer is then :lol:

I have been informed that you weren't happy with your experience with that dealer, though!

With liverpool?

I dont know how far from Warrington IMG you are, but they have been great for me. They fixed things first time that Liverpoo couldn't fix after multiple visits! If you have good experiences with Liverpoo then I guess there is no need to switch though :D

Yeah with liverpool!

I'm in liverpool city centre, literally like 500 metres from liverpool SEAT haha! But warrington isn't too far from there, plus if the service is a lot better i'd rather travel somewhere else! I will bear it in mind for when my car next needs work (hopefully not till the 1st MOT next october!)!

I'm back at IMG tomorrow, still haven't been able to identify what this whistling noise is.

I think it's a noisy belt somewhere, because I had the same sound/issue on my corsa, but will have to see!

went in for my 50000 service, used the its fixed scheme all done for £120. car returned washed and cleaned inside and out which was a bonus as it hadnt been touched for 3 weeks.

went out for drive with a technician to listen to what i thought was a fault but couldnt find nothing wrong.

all done with a minimum of fuss and extremely efficient which i was surprised at given some of the stories ive read on here

Lol, I reckon it's you following me!

Not sorted though, but not their fault, the car picked this day (the only day in the past 2 weeks) to not produce the whistling noise.

Proper pain in the arse
