Ouch, quite a workload!

Update...

I received a call from the garage last Friday saying the car wasn't going to be ready for Monday as they still hadn't had delivery of the Drive Shaft.

Called them this morning and they told me I should have it back tomorrow night!

Dashboard camera is on its way. I got lucky this time when she admitted it straight away.

Cheers

DashCams are brilliant. If only there was a system that could wire up to every door and watch every darned angle!

Wow what a nightmare , you have had , owning a car for two hours and then that happening.

Glad they did not write it off.

yes Dash cam is 100% a good idea.

If you don't want to buy a dash can. I use an app called isymDVR 2. I use it on my iPhone. I record everywhere I drive.

Off to the Garage this afternoon to pick her back up!

Just hope I don't fall out of love with the car

Hope she's better. Don't let some idiots driving put you off your car. Stick some tunes on and have a nice drive. You'll love her again :)

Got her back. Was weird driving the car again. But the car has developed a squeak from some belt on the drivers side of the engine. Back to the dealers tomorrow
