I just got an email on how to read maps backwards……. It was spam (and haven’t even opened the Xmas crackers yet! 🤣)

Still dropping. My closest is now £1.34.9 on unleaded.

Well, picking it up tomorrow evening after work! - 24 days later.

Today useless fact I’ve just read. Golfer Jose Maria Olazábal holds the world record for the longest putt ever holed, completed during the 1999 Ryder Cup team's Concorde flight to the United States, draining a putt the entire cabin length. The ball was in motion for 26.17 seconds, meaning Concorde, travelling at 1,270mph, had travelled 9.232 miles.

Also spotted it today out in Exeter.

“I know what you’re thinking …did he fill up with regular unleaded or premium ultimate unleaded ? ….Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But this being a Fiesta Mild Hybrid Ecoboost …the most powerful 1litre car in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

And mysteriously 40 minutes after my above post I now get a text. Who says nobody listens….🤣

Yes we do have it in writing and made sure of that before the month expired. Still not back yet so Yesterdays update phone call from VW (to my daughter unfortunately and not me) said we are going to keep the car for another week so we can put some miles on it to double check the engine management light won’t come back on and we’ve got to the route of the problem properly before giving the car back to you - a member of staff will be driving the vehicle home each night to make sure the fault does not occur. Ok they've had it back this time over two weeks so what difference will another week make especially as my daughter will put about 800 miles this coming week on their 23 plate T-Roc Courtesy car and not her own. I finished work last night at 7.45pm and I thought I’d take a drive past the dealership to see if someone had taken it home for the weekend. It was in the same space it’s been in since Tuesday. I’m going to pop back later with the spare key and check mileage. Be interesting to see what mileage they do over the next week or how much bullshit they tell us when we pick up in a week.

No. I’m definitely a forgotten about was going to be a customer but not anymore individual. I had asked 3 times (sometime before Emira test, during, and sometime after for a trade in figure on my sport race) Still zero/nothing/nada and that was now over two months ago. Not particularly impressed with the lack of communication from Hendy in Exeter so basically when I’m ready I’ll go to a more Interested dealership - plenty of good one’s about.

You are correct. It’s most definitely a Friday car. Saying that we are on ‘free motoring’ for the next 4-5 weeks at least so in my opinion no hurry. Also soon as we hand it back and say money back, we’ve no car so this way at least it gives us a month to go car shopping again.

Well one week on and where have we got? Hadn’t heard a dickie all week so by 4pm Wednesday afternoon I just turned up. An apologetic service manager sheepishly came over and said at the moment they are struggling to find the problem. They apparently keep taking parts off new vehicles, putting them on ours, and testing. And Engine Management light then reappears. I had an another telephone call Friday afternoon saying the same after more part swaps. So as of today we’ve had the car on our drive 3 nights and VW have had it back 17 and it’ll obviously be Monday earliest before I hear anything else so that’ll be up to 19 nights. I have already had it confirmed that from the date we do get it back we’ll be given another full month to own it and then decide if we want it so effectively starting again. In the meantime my daughter has been given a new T-Roc that she’s been driving daily for the last week putting miles on their car at no cost to us so at least that something. Bottom line is not too happy but not costing us anything at all with the use of their courtesy car putting mileage on theirs not ours. Still surprises me though that a main dealership can’t diagnose a fault with all the plug ins and diagnostics available to the actual manufacturers.

360 psi (25 bar) !!!! you definitely wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that lol.

Down in Devon we take tailgating real seriously!

Well, drilling into high pressure tyres isn’t a job any human will willingly volunteer for lol. Still can’t work out why though…

Cheers Barry. When/if a satisfactory conclusion is ever reached, I will post a lot more information on a separate thread. (Whilst the case is still ‘live’ it’s in our family’s interest not to at the moment) Apologies for branching way of original thread subject.

That is a line a year ago I would have strongly disagreed with. I’ve not posted at all what’s been happening in our family since March but my personal view of the Police has turned full circle, 360’ since March. As of right now I have no respect for the Police and less than zero confidence in their ability to do their job. Useless and incompetent.

Been a mad mad week! What a run though. More please.

Would love to see this. Not too hopeful in Devon though.

That is actually a very good shout. Get a lot of car for your money there. That may well be first port of call if VW not sorted by midweek.

Too big for her Keith . Plenty of options on larger 4X4s about but specifically wanted a small 4X4

Interesting. I was thinking 2 years 8 months but I stand corrected. (It’s for my youngest daughter so should have paid more attention) Still given us another 2 years full warranty but just want a working vehicle. She works at Princetown middle of the Moors so needed a 4X4 and small 4X4s aren’t as common as you think they’d be. Might start to look around again though if not back fixed by midweek.
