I read John Ratsey's post and indeed clicked onto the websites, however it doesn't seem to mention 6 yrs on and interestingly in both cases states contact your local dealer!!!!!!
I freely admit that as the years roll on the 'liability' increases but given in my case the car has always been looked after by the dealer that sold it new, the least they could have done was replied.
I notice with interest in an earlier post regarding a fault with the car when it was sold, I am afraid it don't work. I reported some problems with paintwork ( it had flaked off, so it was a faulty repair) and I got told basically to s*d off. I have also done a post re the rear door and it's bottom edge, according to the dealer it was 'chipping' so not their problem. Again, how did it get chipped? Not in my time. I would suggest it was a quick cover job which was fine for a few months. Time has shown that the car before my time had been repaired around the rear end and I feel that who ever did the repair would have been liable for shoddy work but I am afraid that when I tried to find out who did the repair I was stonewalled at every turn.
So tragically, a lovely little car has it's reputation tarnished by lack of interest by the people that sell them. Having in my younger days repaired many vehicles and always tried to be as fair as I could with customers, because I took a pride in my work modern day attitudes seem to be take your cash and don't bother us.
