Morning,
so yesterday I dropped my car off with lookers at Chelmsford as I have a high revs hesitation/miss fire and several times the car has gone into limp mode. So I leave the garage in my lovely 1.2 clio being told I'll hear something in a few hours. It was 8am I dropped the car off.
3pm... I phone them to see what's going on and was told we experienced the hesitation once on the test drive but checking the car there is no faults. Then blaming the decat for the behaviour. I said well its been fine for months decatted.. (could the decat really cause this sort of issue? The cars been mapped to suit..) but he said my service manager will call you a bit as Im just going to check the dephazer solanoid, so I was like ok.
hour later I get a phone call.... whilst your cars here there has been a slight incident, not our fault as it was before we got it into the workshop, someone has driven into your front wing, he admitted full liability and we have all his details and I have photos of both cars and cctv footage also we can't find an issue with your car. When are you going to come and collect. It was half 4 and chelmsford is 20/25mins away on a clear run and I was going out for the evening so didn't plan to pick it upto then however after him saying that I was fuming and jumped straight in the car and drove there. took me 45minutes thanks to traffic and having a car that felt so slow I was nearly going to get out and push... anyway I got there and spoke with him and he has already spoke to the guys insurance and said I need a new n/s wing and bumper. Looking at it the new wing is needed as it has cracked
the wheel is scuffed but a refurb would be ok and I think the bumper could buff out but afterwards I thought Id prefer new parts. anyway. the guy who done it originally drove off!!! he came back an hour later and admitted he done it. Lookers have been good about it and he got more than enough evidence to support the claim.
So starting yesterday I was hoping to have a fully running clio that runs perfectly however I come home with a hesitating car at high revs and a split front wing.
Its pushing me more and more to sell the car. When I receive the photos as he is emailing them to me I will post them.
Just so angry and now hungover lol.
