Yes it does smell of diesel a little. It feels like it does not start correctly and kicks out on initial start up. All the later starts seem ok. Is it because its cold and that it has been sitting for days? I never had the issue before. Just concerned, especially when spending £560! on a six...

Hi there, Booked my vehicle into Alymer in Hertfordshire. First signs are good as they sound very knowledgable and friendly. Asked about the 72 k service, even though mine has done 23k miles but they said they will check and assess the car on merit. They said its not worth changing certain...

Just emailed Stratstone Mayfair and Heathrow. I basically said that I was not taking the offer of the courtesy car, as I feel it is unfair that the real reason for the visit, was to rectify previous work carried out by them. I also requested, paper work for all works carried in the past, so...
