My Latest Adventure To The Dealer

[Paradoxx]

Hey guys, just thought I'd get on here and give these guys a plug... they really have looked after me in the last few weeks.

So I went for my 45k service which was a damn sight cheaper than any other quote I had. I got them to fix the leak on the thermostat housing (fairly common problem) and they did... they replaced the housing altogether. After this I told them about the gearbox whining and grinding and they ordered a new box for me. This came in within 6 weeks and they replaced it for me. After getting the new gearbox I noticed a problem with the exhaust as every time I started the car it would rattle at the back. I also noticed water marks all over the engine bay and a pretty low looking reservoir. So I took it back in the other day and got them to fix the exhaust (I assume it was a rubber loop broken or something) and to see what they could do about the leak. I picked up the car yesterday with a new radiator and hoses and exhaust back where it was supposed to be... good stuff!

This is the best bit...

I asked the guy if he had any faulty window switches around because my driver's side one was missing a bit of plastic which held the metal contacts in place, but I told him I had modified mine to have the LEDs in it... he said he would see what he could find. When I picked up my car he tells me that they replaced the driver's side switches but left the old ones in the car. So now I have my original set with blue backlights and a Mk II set with white backlights, both in full working order (except for the plastic bit on mine)!

For service over and above the call of duty.... give them a buzz at Centre Ford in Northbridge.

Interesting, thanks Steve. I've been thinking of changing back to Centre Ford as they're a LOT more convenient and my normal dealer couldn't fit my 30,000 service in on Tuesday as they only had a "0915 slot" and I needed to get the courtesy bus at the only time of 0800.

Hopefully CF have improved since I last used them (about 3 years ago).

The are standard on all MkII XR sedans with or without premium sound!

Steve, I though the XRs would have blue lights like the rest of the dash etc. My car has white to go with the rest of the dash lights.
