Sometimes they try to argue and say they need to road test the car, but I tell them that it runs fine and if it needed road testing I'd let them know.A friend of mine once caught a Ford service guy doing burnouts in his GT a few years back, they didn't realise he had just gone for a walk while they serviced the car and he saw them in a back street.

Fuel consumption always increases. And brake shudder arose from their 'test drive'. Not impressed, but lease has certain restrictions.

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 1m 26d Posted 23/11/06 10:54 AM Author Share Posted 23/11/06 10:54 AM (edited) I decided to go a little higher in the chain of command, and viola, I got some action. Needless to say the car is now going to be fixed and im as happy as a pig in Special thanks to all the people out there that listened to my whinging, and for those that offered advice, you know who you are Thanks to the dealer for coming through in the end to.
