Re: Withholding my deposit

In my experience, whether or not the preliminary deposit is refundable on demand prior to lockdown may depend on the OPC. When I ordered from an Inchcape OPC in 2016 the deposit was clearly refundable on demand prior to lockdown. The standard terms and conditions when ordering this year from a Sytn...

Re: Paint peeling

We had a very similar problem on my wife's Golf, attributed to incomplete removal of release agent from the plastic before painting. It took two attempts to achieve a durable repair, all under the 3 year paintwork warranty. I always now exercise caution with the pressure washer when cleaning around ...

Re: Insurance

My renewal premium with Aviva, 14 years NCD, reduced from last year, and compares very favourably with other quotes. Was previously with NFU for several years but their quote this year was over twice Aviva's.

Re: Macan S Pulling to left

I had a very similar experience at 11,000 miles, shortly after warranty work to fix steering creak at low speed. I suspected it was somehow related to the work on the steering column, but it turned out to be wheel alignment. Bournemouth OPC (same group as Portsmouth) charged £320, discounted to alla...

Re: Extending extended warranty

Our extended warranty was further extended two weeks before expiry and there was no 111 point check done. Suspect this varies by OPC.

Re: Car dryer went bang!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Cut off 6 inches of cable and fitted a new plug and hey presto it’s working!! My house and garage have RCD all wired in to the distribution boxes as they are recent builds but guess it would do no harm to use a portable RCD where I plug in the extension lead. It’s al...

Contrasting LV and NFU

Insurance renewal arrived today from NFU. Disappointed to find a 14% premium increase, so checked comparison sites. LV had best offer amongst names I’d heard of, but noted an additional £200 excess on accident and windscreen damage if recommended repairer not used. Contacted Edinburgh OPC to enquire...

Re: Bad design of seat backs

I think I may have identified the reason for the concave seat back on the passenger side of our MY2017 S. Experimentation shows that with the rear seatback folded forward, and the rear headrest in place, it's not possible when reclining the front seat for the seatback to come into contact with the h...
