  • 2 months later...

Its horrible man i payed 5,450 cash for it and they only knocked £50 off.. since i picked it up its had a missfire in cylinder 1 with low fuel consumption. I waited 2 weeks to take it back so they could change 1 not all 4. Just 1 COIL... still the same so he then said it must be the coil. So changed it for a genuine one and still same. Next was plugs. I went up there and they said they hae tried everywhere to get hold of some and they cant. So they sent me away. Few days later i went back up and they fitted 4 new plugs. Still the same... so i rang them and they said there waiting on a courtesy car to come back for me to take and they keep car. 1 month later and nothing was said they didnt contact me at all. So i had to do the runnin and they had forgot about me. Still sayiing the have no car. So i went to trading standards and they gave me my rights. I wrote them a email stating the car needs to be fixed within 7 days of this letter or at least take the car off me otherwise i will be asking for a full refund and any losses made. 1 hour later i had a phone call from a mechanic saying the courtesy car is back. He told me the other month it was a insignia. So when i went up there it was a 1.25 fiesta 08 reg. Looked like someone had got out of a mud bath and sat in it. It was filthy. I had to put my kids in this. They obviouslly had a part ex come in and nabbed it. So friday just gone he said my car is done. Picked it up drove it away and boom. £20 got me 61.5miles. And was even worse from when i dropped it off. All they done was change 1 not 4 just 1 INJECTOR.. so i went and saw the boss today and he said pick another car and he will swap. I had a look and nothing was there. He came and looked at the millage off the clio and its 66k. I got the car on 63k. He said right follow me.. so i did and he said he will give me £5250 back and take the other £200 cause I've racked 3k miles up. So i took the £5250. I cant get the check until thursday as im working until then. He gave me his private number and said call him wednesday to make sure everything is alrite for thursday. Lets just hope he sticks to his world and gives me my money back. I said to him its not like i got it on fianance it was payed for cash and the car is a lump of shite. He said he doesnt want the car and neither do i some im guessing once they got it there gonna just auction it off. I was the 6th owner and there was no service history so i guess in lucky to have my money back. Back to jap i go. And never to french again!

AMEN :p
