Today it went in for its 3rd service & first MOT ( one day before the warranty runs out.)
Expecting a clean bill of health I was surprised with a phone call 6 hrs after dropping it off
"during the service we found a few issues that would fail a MOT"
fortunately for me still under warranty I will have new rear shocks, new lower front bushings and a oil leak around the cam chain housing fixed, apparently not uncommon and a 8hr job.
Not out of pocket but dissapointed that at 3 years old it needs this work, what will nex year reveal ? (Rhetorical)
Time for a new car me thinks, but what ?
I don't realy want to go bigger & I like the extra height of my trekking, I also like 45 mpg + & £20 road tax but I don't like the thought of paying for 8hr engine work if there's another fault when it's out of warranty
