(T) Big trouble

Well just got my car back from the dealers.

Turns out that my flywheel was buckled which inturn was causing my engine to sound like a bag of spanners, along with the joy of armwrestling to change gear.

Not being funny but ***WTF*** surely this should not happen on a brand new car????

Oh well its fixed now, i just hope that this does not turn out to be another friday car like my grande was

On the upside Grays Garage of Warwick were superb. Friendly service along with a full valet for my trouble. 10000000 times better than the bunch of monkeys at research garage in Nuneaton

Don't think id be impressed on brand new car either, hopefully it's just a one off.

What engine/spec have you got Captain?

Good news about Grays in Warwick, am glad i told a mate to go there with his old Bravo now!

Was it always buckled?

Yes it was always warped.

I bought it brand new from Grays in march of this year.

My Bravo is the 1.4 t-jet (15o bhp).

Bit of a weird one really. I never really noticed it tbh. The gears were always stiff and i just thought thats the way the car was. I was showing the car off to some work colleagues when I noticed the engine sounded really ropey. Took it to the garage where they diagnosed the fault (by sound lol) as a possible faulty clutch return bearing. Turned out to be a warped (buckled) flywheel causing the issue.

All fixed now and seems to be working a treat. Its a shame really as this is the first issue that i have experienced. Unlike my grande, which in one year was in the garage 20+ times.

Yeah, I had the same issue with my GP. Grays have been fantastic and would thoroughly recommend them. Have ordered my new Bravo 150T-Jet Dynamic from them and getting it on 1st Sept...can't wait.
