An update for those of you that may be interested. i have been de-squeaked at last so, i will have to see how things go. Apparently, the thingy in the mechanism that adjusts the seat height had seized . Thankfully, there was no damage from them taking out the seat as in Paul's episode. After seeing the photo's from his car, i did inspect it closely.

i had the mandatory fiesta courtesy car today, although it was a Ghia and i have to say that after driving it around for a couple of hours i was pretty impressed with the drive. Smooth and comfortable and it appears to go on forever on a tank of petrol! but just doesn't do anything when you accelerate. I tried to overtake once and died of embarrasement.




Ive got mine booked for next monday to get de-squeaked, lol.Hopefully it will be event free!

yeah, the same BB although the interior of this one was horrendous! The roof lining was the usual grey, blue dash, cream full leather with cream door panels. What a mixture!

Where you taking yours will?

Fareham its closer than Hayling for me but have been impressed with Darons, they do a good job but with this I'm not paying so couldn't give a hoot.

lol.

Did you take yours to Daron - I know you got a few contacts there...

yeah, I took mine to Daron's. I have been using them for 5 years now and can't fault them. As for Hendy's, they are the biggest comedy act i have ever seen. I have had soooooo many rows with them which resulted in the threat of legal action. A friend did his apprenticeship there and the things he told me was crazy. I would never deal with them again!

Im glad to hear your dealer was able to repair your car seat without any problems

Mine was eventually all sorted out in the end, However having white overspray on my paintowrk afterwards made me very cross But i soon sorted that out myself with a bit of elbow grease

I gave the car a good wash then tried meguires paint cleaner. But seeing as it wasnt working to well i used some white spirit on a cloth & dabbed the white dots until they came off. Then followed by another wash & then a good polish.

Ok.....it's squeaking again and I'm none too amused! Think I'm going to take the seat out and use my deck chair......well, there's no other use for that this summer!!
