Re: Its broken down again!!

I so feel for Jamie (my son) what a worry and yep it makes you think by going into the expense of buying dear cars xx

Look on the bright side...
With his motor car having to be repaired so often, he's had fewer opportunities to pick up another speeding ticket.

Re: Its broken down again!!

Don't think the crossmember shown in the photos is a chassis structual stress point so probably ok from a safely point, but the welding is atrocious...if any of my lads welded like that....well they would be looking for a new career !

Quite - even I can weld better than that.

I believe the usual description of such alleged welding - which may be partly held on by the flux - likens it to a dribble of chicken shit.

Re: Its broken down again!!

Oh I can't believe I didnt mention this to you earlier, but its found that the car was in an accident before my son purchased it, he was never told, and we just spoken to the garage where we have it in to now and they gonna take some pics, hard to explain but i will try to get the photos sent to me from my son, this is going to be raised as well.
Its something that you could not see, but the breakdown truck guy from Greenflag had to get it on a truck, because the tow bar angle on the car was not straight but at a 45 degree angle where it should be straight, so the bumper cover was taken off (this is rear end) you can see the damage)! So obviously the car must have had a new bumper and spray job too in the past!

How many motor cars was it before it or they had been pranged?

Re: Its broken down again!!

I have emailed the finance group and politely give them it all, and the copy of the email with all the breakdown times etc and all the times its been in the garage more so than my son being able to drive it, I told them "its unfit for purpose" and also putting my son's life at risk. We can't trust it!
Also raised his Rights under (SOGA).

Re: Its broken down again!!

Breakdown dropping off at the garage (again) gear related, and my hunch feeling is that the mechanic didnt put something back right after replacing gear link.


I really dont think we will ever hear the end of this breakdown matter, something is not right with the car and we are now at the understanding that the local used car garage picked up the car from Auction, got it welded up to chuck out the way on the forecourt, apparently its not the first time either, with just finding out more and more about him.

He used to run another garage, it was closed down and he working as an underhand at the garage where my son got the car from for the last year or so.

Re: Its broken down again!!

This is why my used cars cost a few hundred quid! I would hate to spend 2/3 thousand and find all sorts wrong with it a bit later.
