strange eh?
so no hope of goodwill then by the looks of it!...lucky i have a warranty then i suppose but still have to pay the excess which guts me!
at this rate im better to change my policy to the no excess...

I wouldn't like to try and guess how much time and money the collective wisdom of car clubs has saved me.

Funny attitude some of these guys at dealers isn't it?

Especially from 'front of house' girlies who don't know a fuel rail from a clothes rail.

I had this on my '56 330i. Dealer said needed a whole new steering column. Not sure how much as was under warranty, but I'm lead to believe it was around £1k from a dealer, blood daylight robbery.
