Hi,
I put my 11 reg FIAT 500 Lounge in for an MOT today, and it failed on a couple of things (wipers, numberplate - fair enough) and “a rear spring” needing to be replaced. One was ordered by the garage but it turned out not to fit, so they ordered another version which alas also didn’t fit either. Turns out (!) that the required ones are only available in pairs from FIAT and cost £125 each (price individually - only available in pairs?)
Has anyone come across anything like this before. I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything, but I’m worried the garage are taking the mick. Seems a little excessive to me.
Thanks in advance for any help and if I’m in the wrong part of the forum please let me know.
