Continuing car saga

[T4M]

Having located 2 suppliers of the pully required for the car and spoken to a mechanic i know, i am ready to present Taggarts/Mazda warranty services with 3 options:

1) I give them the name of the supplier and they get the pulley from them
2) I buy the parts myself then the warranty company fit the bill
3) I buy all the required parts, tow the car from the garage and get my mechanic mate to fix the car and send them the bill

Number 3 is a bit of a long shot but seems the only way i can get the car back on the road without being car-less for another 5 weeks, as it looks like i am heading that way.

A 4th option is also available - being that i take the car and pay for all the parts and labour myself and tell them to stick their warranty up their ae

hold off on number 4..

but i'd push them on number 1 and 2..

[T4M]

Number 4 does seem a bit extreme!!

Basically this is happening because i will have to give the Micra back on Monday - and according to Trading Standards, they aren't legally obliged to supply me with a courtesy car......

[Gsi3.2]

legally no..morally i'd stick my neck out for it....

if you could get one on ebay would they fit it for you?.. worth a call..

[T4M]

They said they will phone tomorrow to give me an update. I'm going to see them before i start work and tell them i can get the part the next day and see what they say. It's worth a try

I would but i need to go to work........

I can't see them buying the part from the supplier i have as it is almost 20 quid dearer than the one they are waiting on

[jonesy_ni]

20 quid is ****** all mate to get this job done and out of their way

[Gsi3.2]

yep, but £20 to get you fixed and out of their hair?.. they'll jump at it..
