Long story, bear with me........
Some time ago I took my Leon Cupra (03 plate) in for her first oil change (1000 miles). When I got home, I discovered the offside front jacking point cover had gone walkies. Phoned my helpfull dealer who said they'd order one in for me, give me a call when it arrived, and they'd fit it for me. Several weeks went by, no call. It turns out the part had to be ordered from Spain, and they couldn't give them a delivery date. 2 months later, it arrived through my postbox. Only trouble is, it was the nearside they'd sent!! One call to the dealership, and they tell me, they had the offside in stock all along!
I know, I know, it's only a jacking point, but it looked so naff without.
I then attempted to fit the thing myself, ever watched Krypton factor!! My God the thing would not go on.
I thought I'd take the cover to another dealer (closer by) and ask them to fit it. My own fault, I took both near, and offside, and guess which one they fitted!
I now have a slightly not-lined-up jacking point cover under my driver's side door. Set me apart I guess?
Should it be that tricky!?
Rant over with.
