Thermostat looks like its gone .. had to be recovered last night by RAC .. what a ****ing ball ache ..

Anyone any ideas how to get it to a garage to get it fixed? its over heating rather quickly ..

 

Get the spanner man round yours,thought the rac would have dropped it off at the garage.

 

Great advice thanks

At 9pm all the garages round mine were closed ..

 

thermostat is 2 10mm bolts, DIY in 20 mins max!

 

Radiator had split .. that's the RAC not being able to spot a fault for you ..

£217 later its all done ..

 

How much!

 

50 to get it to the garage 53 labour 90ish for rad and 20 odd for de icer

 

Atleast its sorted,you've not had much luck lately.

 

No its been a bit **** ... when the fella came to collect me I told him about the last Scooby and he said thats legend mate, we've all heard about it .. I was talking to a local garage too and they had heard ...

To be honest although it wasn't the guys fault who crashed it, not attempt was made to make me feel like a wanted customer, no help, no support and certainly no extra customer service ..

The way the recovery drive told it, the guy who crashed my car was a young lad giving it beans .. which isn't the story they told me ... I dunno .. its **** either way and I wouldn't go back ..

 

Glad you're sorted, would have given you a tow to a garage but I was away with my mum so didnt see it til just now. Where do you take it - always looking for a good garage (and the one's to avoid).

RAC are tosh - never spotted a broken driveshaft on my Mk1 XR2 until it fell off and I had to call them again, but their best was when I blew the turbo on my Supra and the guy said "there's no oil in this love" (after 3 hours wait on the side of the M53). I politely told him there was 2 days earlier when I'd last checked it and I'm now with the AA.

Hope you have better luck with you car

 

Dyno Demon had it recovered and fixed the next day .. hats off to Steve ... they do get a bit of bad press on here but he's been good to me ..

Thanks for the offer though .. I dont think you could tow it, the splitter would snap off
