I'm no wiser..... But on initial thoughts... yes all three please

It means nothing to me as well. Great quote...... I'm gonna remember that one

Wow I just wanted a new MOT no idea what type of screen.

When new screens are that cheap, no wonder there's no point in repairing.

The last screen I had done was £140 fitted by National Windscreens, trade obviously. It took him over an hour, how can they be making money.....

I gonna shy away from the SE spec, I have a crv ssr at the moment (lovely car) well priced, but it’s sat here for 6 months. I keep getting (I’m really after an EX).....

That's very true.....and everyone is a mechanic as well or used to be..

We have to put up with old and young cretins all the time, just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are wiser.

Have you ever seen a failed surecheck note on the screen...........

Deport

Serial con me with no morels. Send them straight to prison, asset strip then deportation.

And then you whisper in their ear....it went through the hall last week billowing black smoke ....

Section 9(4)b is indelibly imprinted in my mind because it is a specific exclusion? it’s intent is to protect the seller. Every dealer should understand it’s importance. Now, in the above case it is pertinent because the buyer is insisting the fault was there at the point of sale..... Just my thoughts and opinion....

Have a word with the wife. The CRA states very clearly the following is excluded from the CRA. Section 9 (4) b The term mentioned in subsection (1) does not cover anything which makes the quality of the goods unsatisfactory— (a)which is specifically drawn to the consumer’s attention before the contract is made, (b)where the consumer examines the goods before the contract is made, which that examination ought to reveal. If it isn’t a “distance sale” and the customer comes to your premises they have a responsibility as a buyer to show a level of due diligence. This includes checking the car for obvious faults. Now I would argue checking to make sure the fan blower and A/C would be once of the first switches to check.

Thinking about it, they have been inconvenienced... They don’t want to reject, they just want a tank of diesel as a gesture of goodwill. I would oblige with a smile thanking them for being so understanding... get the car gone....

None of these scoundrels will give two hoots until they are forced to take responsibility. The platform provider has to first admit there’s a huge problem with deliberate misrepresentation and then they need to set up a genuine grievance process with a backup feedback system. That’s my opinion. The shite will soon be weeded out.

What a cretin. Customers are obliged to check everything and show due diligence at the point of purchase. Your PDI sheet should have an section confirming the A/C works.

Yes Mark, when you put it "dynamic" mode it changes the exhaust note to a lovely burble, I keep make excuses to take it out for a thrash....

I've always been a Merc man, but thought I would have a change... I've bought an Allroad BiTDI and have to say its awesome, instant power, very comfy and very refined. The question is, do I get it remapped....... ?

I've had a love hate relationship with Disco 3's, I have one at the moment which I hate and it owes me more than its value..... They are money pits...

Every Passat I have usually sits around for a while, I agree 2.0 TDI is more desirable and much better for towing. We all know Passat owners like to tow Caravans to their wife swap adventures

Very very bad luck, normally bullet proof.

Agreed, but very harsh suspension and not enough boot space. Bought an Allroad BiTDI this week as my smoker and I have to say its an awesome car.

Why oh why have they adopted digital history...... It totally puts me off buying a Mercedes. Some cars have a book, some come with a print. But what if its been serviced outside the dealer network.......... Why deliberately abolish the ability to continue the provenance of a car once its left the dealer network..

My own CLS350 Shooting Brake has just broken it timing chain guide and come to a grinding halt...... The first time in 30 years I have a chain / belt problem.... Apart from a golf 1.4 tsi with a stretched chain (NEVER AGAIN)
