What's made you not grumpy but not smile either today?

Admiral deciding to send me an email 3 days after contacting them about reporting hail damage stating they were going to charge me 11.87 for changes to my policy and automatically debit it from my card.

The amount wasn't the issue TBH but the principle that I made the change on the phone they don't mention it then email me days later to tell me I'm going to be charged really wound me up.

Also I was reversing a change of occupation that I was told was higher risk and had to pay more for when I did the initial change so er what? Oh and the kicker is they couldn't even claim it was an admin fee for new docs as they do not supply a statement of insurance except at renewal so the only docs they will give me don't have the right occupation on.

Neway short call to Bombay to get it waived, small victories.

My bootlid locked shut, could only be opened through the emergency release.

Spent ages climbing around the car working out and eventually traced it to a faulty fuse.
 
Punto passed its MOT without needing any work doing for the 7th year running, however the growing number of advisories and the 116k on the clock means it's definitely getting past its best.

Fortunately while it was in for its MOT I was at the VW dealer picking out a new car

Suddenly the few small dents from the hail storm on my car don't have seem that bad...:eek:

These German cars must be made out of tin foil...

with a fiat you get fiat forum to help if it goes wrong

Two things really, Fiat do not make the sort of car I want with the spec I want and if they did I would be a bit more than pissed off if I needed to use a forum to get help about a brand new £30k car. And given fiat's tendency towards God awful customer service that is not an uncommon an occurrence.

As for Toyota, well they also don't make the sort of car I want if they did I would have gone and had a look, but they don't.
 
It's a tough call out of VAG and Toyota as to whose products are the most completely devoid of character. :confused:

Let's look at fiat in that respect, of "character" in terms of design their current line up of cars consist of a Punto that's been largely the same for 10 years, the 500 which is pretty much the same for the last 8 years and is based on the design of a car which actually did have character from the 60s, oh and some new cars they based off the design of an 8 year old car.
In terms of characteristics well they're typically Italian and while I have nothing against fiats or I wouldn't own two of them they do seam to break a lot or just be temperamental.

About the only fiat that has any character these days is the panda. Now I would consider a panda if they weren't so small otherwise I think they're great little cars.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
