Pinchbecks in Middle Wallop...

[Icecavern]

If it wasn't a lease car I would be asking for a full inspection to check for any damage I think. As far as I've been told an engine/tank flush is all that's needed though so it should be fine. Not the sort of thing you want to have happen on a new car though.

Thats fair enough, leave it at that then. Just hope it comes back as it should have to start with, and the missus is happy with hre new motor

Intersting thread,

my tolly mk 1 is a pinchbeck car...

although interstingly enough, there is a reccomendation from seat in the handbok that up to (i beleve) 30% petrol can be added to the car to aid winter starting.

Does it? as thats where mine will be going for servicing as its about 10 miles away

If that was a personal car i would have rejected it after they put petrol in as ive heard bad stories of future problems after it has happened

As when your spending 15K you do not expect it!!

Lets just say they dont have a good reputation - Like I said at the begining of this thread...

Things may have changed - Lets hope they have.. But I dont go there.... & I live 5 mins away & both my motors are funded by me...

I wouldn't touch them again after the problem with Beckys car.

Where do you get yours serviced stu?

 

[Stu B]

Do them myself - or with a very techie Mate, ex Seat man...

But prior to that Kings Soton/Newbury Huzzeys... But Huzzey gone now... Newbury Seat run by Reading dealer... 50/50 on feed back.. I've heard..

I use to live on the south side of Andover, near Stu.... couple of miles from Pinchbecks, yet I'd travel to Newbury or Southampton for any work. Pain in the arse, but at least you recieved service, a courtsey car and no bullshit
