well, i reluctantly went to my local dealer this morning, i asked if they could take a quick look to determine if it was quick fix or a more involved diagnosis required - they said you will have to leave it with us, we can't look at it now as we are fully booked we will try ASAP tho - i looked across workshop which was empty and the techs were supping their tea! car park was pretty empty too! i asked if they were sure someone couldn't just take a quick look ...nope! so i left it with them, i've borrowed the in laws 1.0 's' reg corsa (wow the power!)
3/4 of an hour later i'm driving into work, I get a call..."its all ready for you!" how annoying! any way they claim to have reset the electrics - i asked them to tell me exactly what the diagnosis was and what the cause of the problem is - they couldn't, basically they have disconnected the battery, reconnected and it now works and thats the procedure VX tell them, so thats good enough for them. I have complained that i think they have rectified the symptom but not the cause and i have no confidence this is not going to happen again. They aren't prepared to do any more!
And they had the cheek to tell me the service is due in 3 weeks and proceeded to quote me a ridiculous amount...i've already queried the cost and told them i think they are overservicing, the 2 yr annual service is basically oil & filter and pollen filter at 1.2 hours labour, they are quoting for all the filters & plugs. i don't think they wil be getting my paid custom and for that matter any other warranty work.
any way i'm off now to go and get it...wish me luck!
