Yep, all that sounds right. Give him a chance, and get it inspected before and after sounds bloody good advice. Then go else where after he has put it right. Don't lket him any where near that car again.

saw him this morning. He has accepted liability for it and has a new cv coming from sweden tonight, in the meantime he's lent me his car which is a rather sad vaux cavalier estate with a blown exhaust no power steering and wheels that are so big they rub on the arches as you turn corners lol oh the joy.

jason.

Good to see that he is sorting it. I would have demanded a decent hire car.

Still, how much nicer will the Saab seem after you have got out of them Cavalier when you take it back.

? sweden ? I'm sure local auto factors would have them on the shelf.
