Hi Everyone, next time you sit in your car, think what a bargain you've got. Even if it doesn't work, it's a bargain! If you were to buy all the parts that make up your car from some breakers yards, spare parts dealers and garages it would probably cost you the equivalent of a small property somewhere in the south of England including a barbeque area, patio and swimming pool!
This has been my experience over the past couple of days trying to obtain either service or parts for my car. For a small heater control knob I have been quoted online from between £27 up to the astonishing sum of £40. I have their emails to prove it! To have the service light cancelled on my car £10 for what is only a two minute job. Do these people not realise that I will not be back to them and that I will never recommend them to anyone. Does the guy who wanted to charge the £10 for the servicel light cancellation not realise that if he'd been more reasonable, say a fiver, I would have seen him probably once a year. He may even have sold me my next car as I probably would have thought he is a reasonable man, who charges fairly and would look after his customer.
I managed to obtain the heater control dail from my local dealer, the price? £5.70 and the service light? It's my birthday soon and my son is going to buy me a draper service light cancellation tool. Anyone round here want a service light cancelled?.....for free!
