After Mikey so kindly checked the car over this weekend, and found that it had no gearbox oil in it, (he added over a litre, the capacity is only 1.8l), the car has still been a mare getting it into reverse, and its also beginning to crunch a bit putting it into 1st and 2nd now.

Took it back to the garage today. Accepted that they have fixed the oil problems and told them that we had an independent mechanic look it over and confirm the sump has been off and the work's been done. However I referred to the letter I sent him and his written response and how he hadn't actually replied to the issue of the crunching gears.

He told me that he'd had the car back twice and "has never had any problems with it" and therefore refused to do anything else with the car (erm, hello, air con?!) I tried to ask him if he thought I was making this up and did he not think I have anything better to do with my time than take days off work and drag my 5 year old daughter to garages with me, but he just kept talking over the top of me until in the end I lost my rag and banged my fist on his desk and shouted "Will you JUST LET ME FINISH?!" - at which point he just said "well you've just blown your case now haven't you?" and smiled smugly at me. Had to leave coz I was so close to properly blowing my stack (it doesn't happen often but f**k me when I lose it I REALLY lose it), so Marc tried to negotiate with him and say do you really not want to try to resolve this with is and he just saying "take us to court".

Still shaking with anger. I'm not a violent person but if Tash hadn't been there my god I'd have wiped that smug look off his ugly, scarred fat head. No wonder this garage employ a security guard.

Sooo, took it straight to the Saab garage, and have booked it in for a "health check" on Friday. I spoke to them at length about the issues and they said they are happy to give the car a thorough once over, and most importantly, give me an opinion on the gear box. By the way, I told the idiot I got the car from about Mikey finding no oil in the gear box. He said it wouldn't affect the car going into gear as its synchro driven. Relayed this to the man at Saab who said, "why on earth does he think we put oil in the gear box then?!".

Can I get a "FFS" please?

Oh, and we might be moving house in a few weeks, just in case we don't have enough stress.....

taking the car to a Saab expert will establish nothing but the need for the dealer to pay his mortage so be expecting a lot more problems found...all can be fixed by the Saab expert of course:rolleyes:

I've explained the situation to the Saab dealer and they also know the garage I got my car from as they get a lot of cars from the main dealer - all they are doing is checking out the gearbox and giving it a quick once over abd running the diagnostics. Man, I could say that about ANY trader/mechanic/sales service, aren't they all in it for profit?!

yeah but main dealers = main dealers HUGE prices :( Have you got a quote from them to look at the car?
