brilliant thank you!!
-
i have searched everywhere but can find any topics relating to this. car just had a major service by one of my friends but the warning light needs turning off, any help grateful!
-
lambda sensor, door straps, leaking rear washer, dodgy stereo wiring, had to have a new exhaust, sticky window switch, and a lot more i cant remember! everything fixed, most of it under warranty! seems like my car always has something wrong with it! but i absolutely love it i should be selling it due to getting a house, but i cant bring myself to do it....
-
really! hmmmm that doesnt sound so good now!

unless you go to warranty direct, as long as your car is under 10 years old they cover pretty much everything, even wear and tear! its £250 a year for my gti, can either take it to a garage of your choice provided its not more than £40 an hour labour, or take it to vw! they pay the garage direct so you dont need to wait weeks for a cheque! when i bought my car i had a years warranty left with arnold clark and i have to say they were pretty good, the policy wasnt changed into my name like it said it should be, but they still paid nearly 1k back to me for work that i had already had done (forgetting that i had warranty - d'oh!!)

smithy replied to lupo pete's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
mine was on a few months ago, i had to replace the sensor. -
I was looking at lupo's for a few months on trader and piston heads. Then a red one come up in Nov 2007 which I wanted straight away as all the others I saw were silver or black. It was a done deal when my now ex saw the wheels, We drove 320 miles to pick her up from Fife and I havent looked back! that was a good weekend

theres a teenage lad that lives round the corner from my ex who has massive ticks last night we saw him walk past the house, shaking his head swingings his packet of m and m's, then he randomly stopped and pretended he was shooting something, kicking his leg out at the same time! he did this all the way up the road! it was hilarios to watch, he got a few honks off the passing cars too! theres also "bag lady" in oswestry, she walks round town all day with a massive coat, big head scalf and with black bin bags stuffed in one of them granny trolley things, im quite scared of her actually!

my dogs bed is under the stairs, once after changing his bedding i stood up forgetting i was half under the stairs and smacked the back of my head on them, ouch! why do you always bite your tongue when you hit your head?!

as i started my car after finishing work, i noticed a burning smell, followed by a load of smoke coming from my steering column. i turned the car off and waited a few mins before trying again, it was fine then and i got home no problems! anybody have any idea what this could be? quite scary!! cheers
