I Hope It Rains For The Next 2 Weeks......................
Discussion
...............cos my baby has to go back to the dealers
The symptoms suggest a problem with the head gasket. They have advised me not to continue to drive it but can't fit it in for repairs for 2 weeks.
There is NO way I can have it sitting on the drive and not be able to use it. That would be like giving a kid a bag of sweets and telling them they cant eat them ,so I am taking it to the dealers today.
I often go out for a drive in my lunchbreak or take the (very) long way home ( roof off of course) to get rid of the stresses of the day.
What am I going to do now

Wow..............now that is tempting.
It is under warranty and I have booked it in for the earliest date available AND that is without a courtesy car.If I had wanted a car I would have had to wait longer.
I also asked about taking it to another dealership and was told that the next nearset is in Stanstead. Didn't fancy that
I seem to remember too that I was told that it would take a week to fix so that will be 3 weeks without my baby.
Edited to add : The dealers have said that if they have a cancellation though, they will fit my car in. :fingerscrossed:

Yeh, tip(per)ing down here in south Devon as well. Still i'll be out in the 'Liz tomorrow come rain or shine. Been driving the Fiesta today (shocking- just does not want to go around corners!)
I hope you get the 'Liz sorted out soon Mrs Triple s. at least its under warranty. Ask them for an Exige S while you are waiting for yours to be fixed. wait for the look of shock, then tell them "ok a standard Exige will fine".
Hope your sorted out sooner than later

Tanman - I AM in South Devon (just Northeast of Plymouth).
BTW Mrs triple s Hope you get your car sorted soonest. Dealer should definately supply you with a car whilst your's is undrivable particularly if you bought the car from them. Imagine if it were your only car and you needed it for work every day. If it had been an Audi/BM/Jag for the best part of £40k you'd be in a replacement car without hesitation. Demand the same sort of service

The one nice thing about all this rain is that I get to see all the water running off my beautiful paintwork after giving it 5 hours of TLC (first clay bar experience) & a coating of Supaguard last weekend, whilst getting severe sunburn in the process 
.
Usually it's bloody annoying when it rains as soon as you've washed your car, but my paintwork is sticking it's fingers up at the clouds and saying 'ha ha ha'
and so am I as the water just runs straight off (not all of it obviously).
Just1 will be so proud of me
