    Let us not mix Factory backed New Car Warranties with used Cars..........who are law on to themselves !! I suspect that if the Vehicle is returned with a promise to sort it, they will endeavour to make his life. Hell. " In God we trust.. all others pay Cash" ......And No, I am not...

    Ok Patrick, I do understand your insight into the Motor Trade these Days It is a tougher World than yester year. The other side of the Story is that the Dealer took $1500 and did not even attempt to carry out the Service Work signed up for. Just delivered the Vehicle as it was. We cannot defend...

    Point taken Patrick..... but I have tried in vain to find a list of the Service items at any Mileage or Time Frame. I did find an all encompassing listing which had so much Padding I just ignored it. In the next five years of the Warranty I will have travelled about 30,000 Ks and am not...

    Battery Advance

    A new development called Qilin a Battery from China promises 1000Ks per Charge. 15% more than Tesla's plan for next Year.. Cost and Type....... not yet. But Cost and Weight will decide. It seems that competition or Wars..... drive development.

    Bit The Bullet, and applied the Ceramic Coating from the Spray Applicator. Scratches gone and the Bonnet is like a Skating Rink... Everything will slide off... A second Coat after 24 Hours recommended. The rest of the Car, as my aching Back permits. For all our older members with Back issues...

    Unfortunately like the Camry I bought a few years ago, the Paint is not very robust... easily scratched. Little depth but a brilliant Finish..... straight off the Gun I believe. I should have bought a new R.R. !
