can anyone please help me with a great deal of urgency!
My zafira is currently with vauxhall, it's got 3 months left of the warrenty and they are hell bent on not giving an inch!
On Saturday morning the car was 'trying to start itself' with no one in it, the doors were locked and we were in the house. To cut a long story short, vauxhall are saying that the lid of the fuse box has not been replaced proprley and water has got in and corroded all the connections etc inside the box. It's so bad that everything is green.
We've only had the car for about 18 months and we have never touched the fuse box, although we've had nothing but problems with this car since we got it.
Vauxhall are saying that because this fault is not a technical fault as someone hasn't replaced the lid properly, the work cannot be completed under warrenty and they want to charge us over £500 to fix it. We've already got a bill for £65 for the diagnostic check that they've done.
I've spoken to vauxhall head office who have said that they've never heard of any common fault with the fuse box lid before but from reading what everyone else has put, I'm clearly not the first.
I would be extremenly gratefull if anyone that has experienced the same thing could come forward, and let me know which part of the country you live in, I can at least then argue my case again with conviction with the vauxhall head office.
Thanks
