philr62 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So I have the half illuminated scuff plate problem .I rang the dealer to sort out a replacement for it and they said they can't go ahead with it until the cars had a full diagnostic on the electrical system. Is this right? All seems a bit ott for a scuff plate which is a common problem, has anybody else had to do this to get one replaced? From what I have read people have just had the things done and gone on their merry way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 They won't need to do a diagnostic but they will want to see the car first before ordering, they'll probably deny its a common fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Did you call dinnages? Do you know who you spoke to? Micheal on service will probably have heard about it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philr62 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 No Mark I spoke to Gary,he knows about it but said they want the car for a few hours to do some checks before they can order one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There's not much to check really, open door check, part of sill doesn't work check. It's just doing it by the book for warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philr62 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 It looks that way,I'll give them another ring tomorrow to see what's what and get it booked in as I think it's about 10bhp down with this scuff plate only half working lol.
