hi folks for for the last few days ive been posting about fuse box and electrical problems

The AA twice looked at my cosworth and came up with the idea that i had to remove the fuse box as there must have been a dodgy connection

great i thought, a hard job i didnt have time to do!!

Took it to my mate dan and he re checked the fuses, and one was blown!!

so 2 AA men who checked each fuse individually with a meter couldnt find one not working!!!!!!!!

am i entitled to any costs as the AA checked the fuse box and didnt find problem!!???

cheers

Ring them and try but I dont think you will get anywhere...

They will probally just offer you free membership for next year.

lukeytheduke

thats better than nothing isnt, shame there just all idiots though and cant get a propper job ina garage!

richard_syko

Dont hear anything good about the AA these days.

turbo1973

they just want to tow you somewhere hardly even look at the car

lukeytheduke

thats exacly what i think mate, its all about the money for them now and not the service

surely i can get some money back??

I wil say when my saff broke down, the guy was really helpful.

some twat had wired up the fuel pump to the windscreen wipers and was just a simple fuse

BUT the switch cut off had been bypassed in the boot, and he did say he shouldnt let me drive it as this can be classed as unroadworthy.

He rewired the pump through the correct circuit and sent me on my way.

So they aint all bad

lukeytheduke

did he have to remove the fusebox to rewire it differently mate as my aa man said its something he cant do at the side of the ride??

foreigneRS

surely replacing a fuse would have been a lot less costly than a tow somewhere, so it can't just be about the money. i think it's all about the stupidity and lack of training

lukeytheduke

my thoughts exacly, but some money back would be good

cheers for all your help with my previous posts too

They are complete tits - I needed a toe home a few months ago because my starter motor packed in - Paid Ł106 for a call out and a years fee and the fookers come out tryin to fix the car when i already knew the problem and then said i havent get Relay on my Subscription so they can't take me home unless i pay another Ł79. So i told them to fook off and am still in a dispute now tryin to get my money back.

They are a total joke and really dont care about you after they have your money!!!!

lukeytheduke

thats a joke mate, i dont c why they dont give you your money back straight away, sems clear cut but i think my case is clear cut too?!??

Paul1982

Phoning them is just pointless as they keep going around in circles, You have 2 write a letter to them via recorded delivery and get them to reply within 7 days of receipt. Ask them to put in writing what they are going to do about the matter as be straight to the point.

Good luck as they will still try pulling the whool over your eyes but do have to answer all questions you ask

lukeytheduke

well ill give thema bell tonight and see what happens, does anyone know anyone from the AA??

Tangodeltasierra3

There liable to say that the fuse blew in between the call outs....

lukeytheduke

but they cant as the fuse was causing the problem the first time!

i tried to get someone to sort a problem i had after i'd been towed home, but they said the usual "write the letter, we'll send out an inspector" yadda yadda
in the end i got nothing other than a sore ear and a bigger phone ill so i dind't bother

did send me a letter saying that the next years policy would be the same price etc afterwards though so it's not all bad

lukeytheduke

Thats i bad mate, they should offer you it for free!

lukeytheduke

cant u threaten to join the RAC??

dojj

from my experiances, they were even worse

Costs for what? It hasn't cost you anything has it?
So they didnt find the fault, they dont claim to be autoelectricians, they just do what they can at the side of the road.

Dont get me wrong, im not the AA's biggest fan but I dont understand what costs you think you're entitled to?

lukeytheduke

err... what about cost of taken it to a garage and the money i had to pay them to fix it,

its not very hard to see if a bloody fuse has blown!!!!!!!!!!

even a dim-witted kid could see if a fuse has blown and the so called "experts" cant!!!

I am 100% entitled to costs, its a bloody fuse for f sake, notthing technical!

well you didnt spot it!!

lukeytheduke

i didnt bother checking it as the AA men on 2 different occasions checked every fuse! so i concentrated my efforts elsewhere!

crappy AA

I agree with Mark, and was about to post exactly what he said until I saw he had

I don't understand why you didn't check all the fuses etc before you got the AA out

The last time i used the AA, my old saff broke a front shaft, so i rang them and said its broke a shaft ,its constant 4x4 i need a flat bed.......

So they sent a fucking bloke on a motorbike. i said, we'll put it in your lunch box then shall we?

lukeytheduke

it was 10pm at night and i didnt have a torch!!!!

lukeytheduke
