Oh crap! I spent days arguing with Nelson to get them to respray my front spoiler (the one they cracked the last time my Zed was in their care). Come hell or high water I was not going to pay for it and they finally gave in. Took the car in this morning, got a lovely Micra "Vibe" in return (laugh all you want but the headlights are MILES better than our Zeds), and when I went to pick it up this afternoon there was an even larger scrape and paint damage on the lower spoiler just infront of the passenger side front wheel! I scratched my head, tried in vain to imagine how that might have gotten there (as they would have just resprayed it), but could not make head of tail of it. I hadn't touched (and obviously not moved) the car and went inside to argue some more. Much to my surprise they quickly put up their hands and agreed to give it another respray in the morning (ahem ... me thinks they knew and hoped I hadn't noticed ...)

In any case, back home in the Micra (not enjoyable but atleast I could see where I was going) and hopefully they'll have corrected the problem by mid-afternoon tomorrow.

I just can't believe it ... but hey, this is Nelson we're talking about.

 

Just thought I'd share this with you...

Doesn't give you much faith in Nissan Dealers does it?!

Never had faith, but what little "hope" I had of them being able to complete a seemingly simple and mundane task, has now been utterly shattered.

Miyagi advises honourabre Danny to check mireage when pick car up!

 

Ahhhh.... Daniel San no fool Mr Miyagi ....

 

Went to pick the car up yesterday, looks fine now! However, I did clean the car before I took it in two days ago and now looks like it ran the Paris-Dakar race(twice ...)! Did get a funny remark from the lady behind the reception desk when I came in to collect the car: "It really drives well, doesn't it ...." No idea why she took it for a spin. Mileage wise there was only 2 miles done. Again, no idea why they would need to take it for a "test drive" when all they've done is respray the front spoiler.

Never mind ... it's back, it looks good and I'm happy again

 

Sayonara!

Nice one Dan, glad that's sorted for you!

 

But she probably did the sandwich run in your car for the workshop boys...scarey to say the least!
