    How long before the mafia decide Wilmslow should be supporting the new relief road? Might be worth a poll...

      so, you 'close', has gone free being a respectable Mondeo Man close of semi-detatched houses with prim gardens and recent cars outside to all of the neighbours buying bangers and parking them on the street

      can we see a picture of the street today

      would you call this a success ?

        It does have an MOT and is generally road-worthy isn't it, seeing as you're getting the police involved?

        Wilmslooooow, you've done it again!

            Aye.... I got a banger as well on Sunday afternoon.... A BRAND NEW FIAT 500!!!!!! except this cost me £11,300 more than yours mad

            Auto gearbox not working from the minute I tried to use it, bubbles in the paint on passenger door, Indicator stalk not canceling, no info in the manual for the auto gearbox use and I think the aircon consists of two mice down the front window vents blowing on the windscreen the effect it has when you try to use it.

            DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE CAR'S!!!!!

            now where's the nearest MINI showroom

              It never ceases to amaze me how many car fanatics are duped into buying a Fiat - they have never, ever been good cars, including that hairdresser's coupe that they brought out 10 years ago. Muppet!

                Well, after my last experience with BMW I swore to never buy a new car again, unless it was Italian exotica 'cause you don't really care if they breakdown, you expect it. Yet I must say the output from Sant Agata Bolognese have been most reliable cars, and care and attention to detail has been outstanding.

                I digress, I say let some other mug put up with the delivery faults and initial depreciation.

                  The thought of buying a FIAT has never, ever crossed my mind. But thanks anyway.

                  Reject the car ask demand your money back. Get trading standards involved and write to all the car mags and newspapers with your story of woe.

                    WILL NOT WORK! I tried all sorts of ways to get BMW to take back a brand new 7 series with faulty brakes and a myriad of other faults. In the end sold it back to them, with a recommendation it was scrapped as I considered it an unroadworthy lemon, and took a loss. Apparently it killed the poor sucker they then sold it on to.

                      It goes into the garage tonight and I shall see if they manage to fix the faults although I'll not hold my breath especially if it's the same cocksocket who PDI'd the car.

                      Yes I was bought with promises of better build for this model and I fell for it

                      DimP I intend to go the full hog if I don't get satisfaction.

                      Before I bought this I had never been in a fiat garage in my life!!! it should've stayed that way.
