I am really at my wits end with this vehicle and could do with some advice!! I really want to know if people think i have a right 2 complain.. (although im not sure who 2)
First problem started after I had the vehicle for 6 months (purchased 2 years ago)
1: was informed the timing belt needed changing after i had M.O.T as the vehicle had 58,000 mile on clock, so paid 800 pound for this.
2: 2 month later driving at 70 mph on motorway.. car totally cuts out!!!!!!!! nearly causing a severe accident!!!!!!!! called green flag, after popping the bonnet i was informed that the cause of the problem was over tightened timing belt. paid 500 pound to get towed to garage that had repaired timing belt as i was only covered 10 mile radious.
3: garage argued it wasent there fault but agreed to re-do in the end after a few arguments.
4: picked vehicle up after about 3 weeks?????? said there was something wrong with cam shaft? but again i refused 2 pay.. upon pulling car away i noticed black smoke they said they would look at it again.. rang me said my turbo had gone???? paid 1,000 pound....
5: from then i have had black smoke coming out of vehicle, obviously i had no faith in this particular garage and took to a main dealer i have had pay around 3,000 on repairing vehicle for various faults, around 400 pound hiring vehicles.
Any ideas??
