Do you know for certain you will get your money back or are they just fobbing you off???

pmw75 · 10th March 2010, 17:41

I think the dealer was unaware and does want to protect his reputation but I doubt I’ll get today’s bill covered. Some members are doubting the mileage report, I have screen captured the relevant bit and posted on forum. I find it hardto believe as the condition is excellent. But regardless the engine has had it. The owner is not 'hands on' and employs a manager who may have let him down, I don't know.

However I am worried as I'm broke and want to feel the cash in my hand

I'm just wondering is someone has dropped a clanger on that report and it should read in 2008 55,700 miles not 557000. It would then tie in with the present mileage of 62,000 and the general condition of the car?

If I can be of any help let me know, I have found my file.

Keep a full record of what was said and who said it and what was done on what day and at what time. You might need it.

Cheers

John

Had crossed my mind but garage reported engine change and they strongly believe it's high milage, however high that might be

"All our cars are HPI checked" etc. 2002 (02) Immaculate black, very nice interior, etc. 62000 miles, some history £1990 having been £2695.
Sudden severe water leak from thermo' housing, recovery truck into garage. Phone dealer to find man I dealt with on paternity leave (brief mobile conversation "can't be ar**ed with cars at moment", his stand in does not want to know, owner on holiday. I had to authorise repair. Garage then tells me engine shot, likely head gasket but cost me £231 plus recovery, BTW did I know it had been a Taxi? I paid for an HPI check last recorded milage - 557,000, yes 557k. Stand in has been persuaded to contact owner on holiday who has said will collect car and reimburse me on his return (2 weeks).
So unless someone amongst you has a nice, pref deisel, example I will not own a 75. Am very sad as I love it!!
