Dropped my Eddy off at the main stealers for a Full inspection service, engine flush and brake fluid change and a FREE car wash, I can't see how the last item is free when I'm spending nearly £400 on the other bits!!!! And I hope that the Valeter's at Preston Volkswagen are better than some other branches reading about the horror stories of swirled paint etc, the car is filthy after a long weekend away and I won't be getting chance to wash it myself anytime soon.
When mine goes into the dealers I specifiacally ask them not too clean my car. They usually use tfr and bloody brushes  :confused:

Forgot to do that last time and was actually surprised the car was fine when I went to pick it up :laugh:

Waited all day for national windscreens to turn up and do my window only for them to realize after 20 minutes they didn't have a wiper arm puller so couldn't fit the new screen so there coming back tomorrow. What windscreen company doesn't have a tool that is more than likely going to be needed daily on there van!  :fighting: :fighting: got straight on the phone and there coming before 12 tomorrow.

Found out I'm gonna have to spunk up £120 on a new GY Eagle because my wheel took a big whack and I got a cut into the tyre. Only just got a new set put on a few months ago  :sad1:  
At the least the rim protector did its job and saved my newly refurbed wheels from any major damage.

I found out what's been causing the ANNOYING rattle from my boot! The little panel that covers the inner light, so you can change the bulb... Removed it and its gone! Now to put some foam pads under it before refitting...
