do you actually like driving at all or are cars to you just a manifestation of some sort of pathological mother complex ?
Just read this thread.
Giles - Am gutted for you mate and I hope all is well when you get the car back.
If it happened to me I would be in the same dilema. Do I want it back or not? The only way is to take it for a good long blast and re-assure yourself it still the car that is was. Any doubt, get back to them and demand a shiny new one....
After all it WASNT your fault! Mr BP will be sweating, big time, and the last thing he will want is bad publicity!

Hurrah! Murketts finally called, my car will be ready tomorrow, nearly 4 weeks after the event.
Everything, with the exception of spark plugs has been replaced. The small mind-blowing issue (which lovely Susan from NIG got quite stroppy about when challenged) is that the contaminated fuel itself, of which there was a full tanks worth, is NOT covered.
So, notwithstanding my brother paid nearly £50 to fill my tank up with fuel that wasn't and that had to be poured down the drain; NIG will only reimburse £25 as a goodwill gesture because the reason for contamination is NOT covered, only the destruction it causes
I might send her a kebab in the post as a thank you present.

Hoorray!! I bet it will feel great to get back in the driving seat after all this time. On the subject of the fuel thing - surely you would be entitled to a refund from the petrol station. I see it no different to buying any other product from a retailer that's not what it says it is - you would expect a full refund.

I'm sure we can come up with something better than that.Giles wrote:I might send her a kebab in the post as a thank you present.

Excellent news Giles. Mr and Mrs Alfie are looking forward to ten minutes each in the pasenger seat very soon!

Gourmet oil?
How about a very rare and expensive type of 'cooking oil' with suspended particles to complement her cooking?
Did you save it Giles and how much did it cost ?( by the time your car was put right?)
I'm sure we could find a funnel and an empty extra-virgin olive oil bottle to decant it in to?

Yes definately, the Sale of Goods Act states the goods must be of "merchantable quality".But your brother must claim as he is the person that paid for the goods.SpunkyM wrote: On the subject of the fuel thing - surely you would be entitled to a refund from the petrol station.

Just been catching up on posts on another forum and came across a post that linked over to here.
I'm really sorry to hear that you've had such issues Giles. Coincidentally I was talking to a friend up in Acrington today and they were telling me about a friend of theirs with a brand new Merc that has just had exactly the same issue.
Its very scary to hear of one let alone two cases within a short period of time.
