Just have to wait to get me new car now.
 
Great News Rob. :) If at first you dont suceed and all that..........

The law was always on your side mate and I am glad the dealer has agreed to give you a new car. Shame it is always such a lot of aggro :mad: to get things done.

Well done Rob
 
Cheers!!!!!!:D

ROFL that would mean £9,000 refund and a packet of crisps then eh lol

Sorry but I am not a fan of the Panda it looks like Postman Pat's car and for a person who wants any street cred it has got to be really embarrasing lol

Mind you I guess even a Panda is better than nothinng lol

Sorry to all Panda owners I know a lot of people do like them:)

Excellent work :). Its good to let them know they can't walk all over consumers and sell substandard cars!.

Yes it is and the silly thing is the Law is there to protect the consumer and the Big Dealers think people will not use it. It all good though that no court action was needed. It's a shame the dealers mess people about though:mad:

This thread has reminded me to get some annoying niggles fixed on mine

. Ive got a creak from the rear quarter when I reverse to the left on a bank. A Thud when I do a full power start from 1st to second as if the gear box is trying to jump off its mountings. A rattle from the drivers side door / dash which is random. And my glove box doesn't line up... apart from that its been perfect :).

Ive had mine about 8-9 weeks now. Going to go book it in tonight on the way home.

Great Idea. Hopefully they will be able to sort any problems you have. :)
 
I was thinking about trading my Stilo in sometime for a 1.9 MJET Sporting before reading this thread . . .

. . . and I still am :D. Yeah new cars have their issues, my Stilo had a recall done for a steering rack when it was 2.5yrs old, as long as the car is safe and it gets done I'm not too bothered.

Hope the new car doesn't give you any trouble Rob :D
