Got ST back 30th December (Last Friday)

Looked at it thoroughly yesterday, and found to my HORROR that there is a bad masking line around the window, rear spoiler ill fitting and the rear interior trim has still not been replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So guess what it's going back in this FRIDAY. Have told my insurance company about this matter................

Workshop Manager has been extremley apologetic....................

Also one of my wheel centres fell off on the way home from the repair centre last friday.................

Went to RINGWAYS in Doncaster (my FORD dealer) a chap came out and had a look and pulled of a wheel centre with his finger, and said they where not well fitting and ordered me another TWO.

CHECK YOUR CAPS WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, AS THE PLASTIC SEAMS TO SHRINK...........................

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE......................................

OMFG!!! You'r really not having much joy with these muppets

Take 1 useless repair centre, add 1 large molotov cocktail, leave to roast for 2 hours. There you have a good recipe for payback

You're having no luck at all in getting it sorted.

All you can do at the moment is hope that finally they get things right this time.

Its BACK....................

Should have been ready MONDAY.

But due to them not being able to fit the rear window until tuesday, then they chipped the paint on the rear spoiler, it was only ready late yesterday.......................

They have re glazed the whole car (was Autoglym Lifeshined, from NEW)

Looks as good as NEW, worried ABOUT INSPECTING TO CLOSELY.......................

You'll have to bite the bullet and inspect it closely.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's all good as new.
