Just had a new radio fitted to the cossy by a local company, and when I went to collect it, the car is half the way down the road from the place and they can't get any gears. On getting the AA out the clutch is f**ked.

Probs sods law but still takes the p*ss, as I can't remember when you needed to test drive a car to fit a radio

I would go fookin ape shit on them!

They been caining it mate, they don't need to drive the car make them pay for it ot trading standards involved, dont be one to let it lie

time to open a can of whupass on them - they had absolutely no need to drive your vehicle except for means of moving it around the workshop etc - no way they should of had it on the road. - My money is on an apprentice has been giving it some of that "hows ya father" and burnt the clutch out

salmon

I wrote the milage down first and they had done less then a mile and the AA guy says its very heavy so was probs on its way out anyway, dont know if I'd get anywhere so if its worth the aggro

Pay for the Radio ... But at the same time, inform them that you will take further action with respect the unauthoriesd use on the road. Ask who was driving, and get the name. Ask local places if anyone saw it being ragged.

These could be your demands ...
New clutch professionally fitted
Amount that will cover the cost of the radio.

Or take matter up through Solicitor, but with Standards first.
That's what I'd do mate.

They are likley not even insured.. do NOT let this lie pal, no need to test drive a car to fit a fooking radio.. probably been doing burnouts

salmon

They reckon they where just moving it roung the front onto the main road so I could collect it.... Think I'll get some legal advice just in case, as by the looks of it it aint going to be cheap to get one fitted.

ALWAYS check how many miles a car has got BEFORE you leave it with these cowboy cunts...

TIFF

Get it sorted pal, i would be going mad

philc

must be a big flockin yard if its done a mile to just get on the road!!

Dependant on how the car park to workshop is located IMO i think its just an unfortunate set of circumstances that it happened when it did

salmon

To be honest I think you're probably right.

I've been down the trading standards route when a large clutch repair company damaged an Audi they were repairing, and it gets you no-where.

The car park is round the back of the shop and they where moving it onto the main road which means they have to go to the end of the road and round.
