You lucky swine! I’ve got a scratch on the rear bumper after some bellend hit me in the supermarket and drove off. It’s a lot better than what it was after some light wet and dry, colour and polish but still noticeable when it’s clean. Might keep the car a bit dirty for the inspection.
Anyone any experience of that? I always give the car a good clean before BCA come? With WVFS if that helps

If it's dirty you can also get hit with a valeting charge if it's a single small scratch then £40 smart repair or at worst bumper corner/bumper center repair £90Anyone any experience of that? I always give the car a good clean before BCA come? With WVFS if that helps

Read your contract. There will be a section relating to servicing requirements.
Some allow you to service at vat registered non main dealer service centres (using genuine parts), some don’t.
Some PHers have serviced them at non main dealers even when it says you can’t, and had no come backs, as they weren’t checked upon return.
I have serviced my Jag at an indy garage, but made enquiries first, and I suggest that is the route you take rather than ask here as it really depends on what you have signed.

I checked on website and it says vat registered with approved parts. I only require a first oil and inspection service and an independent is £100 cheaper.
Only difference is I won't get free breakdown cover.
Also, I was never given a service book so assume the service record is electronic.

I had my jag serviced at an indy (£200 cheaper), and they logged the service directly on the Jaguar system.
When I went to the main dealer for an engine warranty repair (spotted by the indy), they noticed it was serviced elsewhere on their system. No issues with the warranty repair though: )
Currently have a Tiguan on a 2 year lease with Vertu.
The car got hit by a stone the other day which has cracked the windscreen, cracks not getting bigger, so putting up with it for now.
Obviously I could get it replaced through my insurers, but does anyone know the charges for handing it back with a cracked screen? Saves the hassle of getting it changed myself (I know, being really lazy here!)

I had a repair done on my cupra before it went back, the guy inspecting it said the windscreen was the only thing worth getting repaired yourself as they charge full costs The car got hit by a stone the other day which has cracked the windscreen, cracks not getting bigger, so putting up with it for now.

Get it done on insurance with no hesitation. The lease company will charge you full whack.The car got hit by a stone the other day which has cracked the windscreen, cracks not getting bigger, so putting up with it for now.
