You do realise the warranty ran out as soon as it left his sight? 

[theshadow]

the warranty runs out as soon as you get the keys, :shock:  better than ford dealer....

[Cavcraft]

Cheers Mark, apol's for getting wrong V5, have messaged with details of correct one now .

 

[The Moog]

Where do you get a full service kit for that measly amount?

[Matty]

I wondered that as well. 5 litres of oil for £3?? Tell us the secret!

[Matty]

Edit. You never mentioned oil. I'm a halfwit

Wouldn’t surprise me if old shitters like this that were once absolutely everywhere have service parts that ECP turf out dirt cheap using their “sale” codes online.

Bit harsh referring to theshadow like that

[Bren]

The fact it has metal below the doors would indicate this is a premium model.

the secret is to remain secret,typical pissing it down this morning,it did include 4 litres unipart spec they who went ballyup,f3zzy parts are very very cheap.. 8) so service may wait,but drive down to accy town centre is on cards after 9.00 am..

[theshadow]

after drive out to accy this morning,plug in code reader not a sausage,good,got torque wrench out,removed sparkplugs all came out ok,well fooked ,put bosch jobbies in,lost the copaslip,sprayed white grease on the threads,help to remove next time,changed pollen was manky,original ford,changed air filter,oil,filter change tommorrow if it stays dry,,oil 5w 10w mixture than will have shufty check underneath,new amazon wiper blades fitted £4 for set,

[Cavcraft]

Glad it behaved going home for you, it probably needed a good run out and it sounds like that's done the job.

[Parky]

I think the Shadow has a reciprocal agreement with this kid. He keeps him in top hats in exchange for cheap parts no questions guvnor.

 

“Right, so Cambelt, water pump, and tensioner sorted. For an extra tenner I can let you have this luvverly MOT certificate”

[Cavcraft]

Good news, the warranty DOES cover the rear wiper. From your guarantee cover book (page 484, row F, appendix X) :

 

'Any faults discovered with the windscreen wiper operations (front or rear) including, but not wholly inferred to these operations, or lack thereof, are covered by our no quibble* money back** warranty, up to and including the total sum of £5** and this immediately terminates any other from of cover, E&OE' 

 

*Much quibbling

**To the vendor

***In cash
