Whats made you Smile today

Getting car serviced at cost price for parts & done for free, FTW :D

AND got a refund on Insurance when i changed my address :D
 
Colleague did my car's MOT for me at work on Friday. With no prior work, a service or even a clean, it passed with flying colours!

Well, i'll be honest, it actually technically failed, cause of the furry dice on the mirror and the FS sticker on the windscreen, but he helped me peel the sticker off, and passed it immediately afterwards :)
 
1st mot so I'd hope it would pass straight away - although it is a ford I suppose... :p :laugh:


Where was the sticker placed? Drivers or passenger side? Mine's at the top of the windscreen on the passenger side and never caused a problem with the mot.
 
t'was its 2nd MOT, it got its first at about 2.5yrs old when i bought it, as part of the deal. :)

Always get nervous when it comes round to MOT time, especially as my colleagues in the garage had been telling me it would likely fail on the airhorn, & i wasn't sure if they were winding me up or not...

I thought it strange too with the sticker - the dice on the mirror, fair enough. But the sticker is in the absolute top left hand corner, not in the windscreen wipers sweep, even the ford direct warranty sticker is further in than the FS was.

However, i was stood chattin to him for most of the test. When he said about the sticker and dice, he told me to remove them, so while he did the headlight beam test, i jamp in and removed the dice, and he then gave me a hand to remove the FS sticker which wasn't budging (good advertisement for how good they are!)

He completed the MOT, and told me it had passed with flying colours but he would have to "fail" it first for the stickers and dice. So he printed a fail certificate then immediately a pass certificate. So not overly bothered, didn't cost me any extra, didn't take up any more time, other than the couple of minutes to print the certificates, and i've got the pass so don't need to worry for another yr now :)
 
After a bit of a Battle with TMS (Long Story) the Area Manager for Kilmarnock has basically told the Assistant Branch Manger at Kilmarnock to supply me with a New Alternator for Free as a Good Will Gesture, as the last alternator packed in within 3weeks of me buying it.

Also been in contact with a family member who works for a Fiat Dealership as an ABARTH Technician & asked him about Grande Punto Alternators packing in & he said that the garage he works out had had a few in recently. And he's going to get me a price for the New Under tray Fiat have bought out for the Grande Punto.
 
i think i speak for most, in saying 'thank god' **wipes forehead** :laugh:
