Walldonway 24000 service

[blatch]

Oh god, £1700 for a service and other niggly bits I wanted done! AND it's nearly Christmas, looks like everyone will be getting air fresheners from the local Esso garage then...

But they were very quick and friendly, and I picked the car up on the great rugby day, so that cushioned the blow...

[Pies]

what were the other bits

[blatch]

I got the entire roof water-proofed and replaced all the window trims so in theory I can drive it under-water like James Bond.

Because it's an older model it's got the old doors so the water-proofing took a bit of effort to get right!

There were other problems that needed sorting, I'll post the list of fixes if anyones interested (2000 W Tuscan)

I found WW a little more expensive than other main dealers, but A)they fixed all faults 1st time, b)Extremely polite, c) took time to talk things over with me. AAA rating.

Agree they are top draw and really nice people but with a car of more than three years old you're better off with specialists like APM. Andy looked after my cerbie as the quote for the 24k er was eye watering from the main dealers. E mail me offline if you want any details but believe me I could have had it serviced and stuck new tyres all round and still have change to go to France for a weekend.

[blatch]

I must agree WW were really helpful and polite, which always makes the difference. I did have to keep the communication lines open myself in all honesty, but that's because I'm annoying and phone at least three times a day to see what's new, over protective i guess!

jurdy I can't find your email address on your profile?

[Jurdy]

Blatch,

That should have fixed it. Try again.

Err Blatch, why did you need the entire roof waterproofing?? Not heard of that before, did you need any other body panels waterproofing as well?

Interesting, my X, owned since new, never had a water leak, doors ,windows or anywhere else. Engine rebuilds I can live with, leaks piss me off

[jigs]

That's nice, pubman, that you never got wet while you waited for the breakdown truck to come collect your Tuscan with a banjaxed engine - you really do find the silver lining in every cloud - no matter how small.

[blatch]

Various leaks on the roof, and it made annoying wind whistling sounds at high speed. Also all the trim around the windows was coming off and looked shite. I probably went a bit overkill, but I just wanted it "like new"! Either way I'm well happy with the result.
