Well my first day of ownership ended in watching my new car being driven away on the back of a big yellow taxi!
The dealers carried out a service prior to me picking it up and apparently the thread on the fuel filter was ‘faulty’! One of the first things I did on the drive home was to fill up with diesel. When I parked on the drive to have a good look around my new purchase, noticed the fuel dripping out.
The dealers couldn’t be more apologetic and sent me a brand new RRS to use whilst they checked over mine. But it certainly took the shine off the ‘new car’ experience!
You’ll have to pop along to the next ‘Britannia’ breakfast meeting.As you slide down the banister of life
