Quote from: "Chris_h"I was called by my dealer ....
Seems the wire can chafe and cause fire - not that we have heard of any.....

I cant be bothered taking my car in for that

Could cause a fire in my car?   s:flame: :flame: s:flame:     s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

 Dealer offering to sort it free? At a time of my choosing?   s:) :) s:)  

 - Nah, I can't be bothered either   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Got to be honest, I haven't taken mine in either - mostly because I don't want them to 'test drive' my car and promptly wrap it round a tree.

I trust dealers that little.

I did get the letter, though - a month or two after the original post.

I'm a little worried about that too.
Although slightly hoping they will only gently bang the front bumper and have to replace it for me. I still haven't got it repainted!

I guess I'll get them to do the brake master cylinder at the same time.

Don't forget there's a little incentive with this recall, I got £15 worth of fuel, not a great deal I know but still something for basically nothing   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  and it's not a biggie that involves road testing, just a quick visit and inspection in the workshop with any necessary adjustment then away you go.

Hi Les,

Did your letter mention the fuel top-up, or was it just a pleasant surprise on the day?

Cheers,
Stu

Hi Stu

Check out my post at the beginning of this thread in the attached letter with the paragraph "Customer support package"   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    HERE

No such section in my letter - and I'm aware it doesn't require road testing, but you can bet that will happen anyway if the car is left with them.

And based on how long it took them to pop a plastic popper back in (three hours!) once, this would be an all-day job at my local dealer.

aaron is right I have long since been too scared to ever take my car back to the main dealer for fear of them sticking it through the wall of the garage or something.

Dont think there is any danger of that - your car never seems to keep running long enough  s;) ;) s;)

Where are you going Russ? Reading? Or is there one in Newbury. I don't fancy the Oxford one after watching one of them trying for 5 minutes to work out how to open the bonnet.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

*Poof* RCS900 evaporated before Christmas, along with Browns in High Wycombe. Apparently they were related. Octagon in Reading also have a branch in Bracknell, just off the Wokingham junction of the 329M.

Hi All,

My 2 is booked in at Inchcape Guildford for this recall work.  They said it takes 3 hours(!) - the letter said 1 hour..   s:? :? s:?  

Given this, I am having to pay £10 (+VAT) for a loan car.  Shame really, I'll end up out of pocket by getting recall work done, which doesn't seem right to me.  Wonder if they'll top up with fuel - I doubt it somehow.

Disgruntled of Surrey

I had mine done last week, it took less than a hour and they did top up the fuel.

If it's anything like my previous experiences with Inchcape Toyota at Guildford you'll go back there after three hours only to be told, "We'll just be starting on that one next".

After the second time it happened I won't touch them with a bargepole now.

Thanks for that.  I'll definately ring up before leaving to pick it up now.

Pleasently surprised today.

Took the car to the Oxford Toyota today, yes, in all the snow, after originally booking it in last Thursday.
Before the original booking, I receved a call from them saying tehy had checked my car an it also needed the brake master cylinder check as well so could I leave it all day with them.
They didn't have a loan car so I couldn't do it. They booked me in for this week and organised a car for me.

Got there this morning amongst all the snow to find them discussing how many of their people would make it in today.
Still, got my car booked in, mentioned the turbo and the oil leak I've got and told them not to worry about it.
Picked up the car (1ltr Aygo urrgg) and set off. They offered me the lower £50 excess (standard is £1000) for £10 which I took but they didn't actually charge me for in the end.

Got a call just before lunch saying all was well and I could go and pick it up again.

They had even valeted it inside and out.

Bonus.
