Made all the better by white van mans reaction , priceless.

his white van didn't even have electric windows, he had to wind them down to get his pinky out

Needs a new engine.

Ooooof......

Blimey that's bad news, but at least it will be perfect once its sorted. Trust the guys at dealership have looked after you.

I’m sorry to hear that James, but I’m sure Paul and the guys at AM Newcastle will sort it out in their normal professional manner.

Very sorry to hear this! Will you share what they find/found out for a reason of this failure?

If I can I will, but the service department said that they may not get to find out themselves. It will get sent back to AM for inspection.

Those of us in the NE know Stephen in the service team, he says in his 20 years with AM he has never known the V8 Vantage engine to do this. Until this week. Mine is the second V8VS in there with the same problem.

Hi James - sorry to hear about your car, awful + a shame - hope you get sorted (sure you will)
