Did someone say a new engine?
« on: 07 October 2008, 18:05 »
The Edition 30 developed a leak which I dropped the car off Monday expecting to have it back later that evening, got a call saying they need to keep it overnight as they had to strip the gearbox.

Gave them a call today and said it needs a new engine  :angry:

Been down to see the guy tonight and he basically said it’s been like that from day one and put it down to a manufacturer’s error. The more pressure put on the engine the more the oil leaked. Also said the engine is on back order for at least 2 weeks...most likely more  :sad:

Car is only 3 months old and covered just over 4000 miles...well disappointed. Bring on the rental car in the morning  :grin:

What car do we reckon it will be?

Compare notes with RR. He ended up with a Yaris.

Sorry to hear about the heart being ripped out of your ED30 though :cry:

I can see some tame 1.8 family car like a mondeo or something  :angry:

I've got it for a minimum of 2 weeks and bet it will be longer, he wouldnt even put a date on when I would get it as they are moving showrooms aswel which im sure will delay it a few days.

Does anyone know what exactly will be getting changed? To me when someone says engine, I think of everything.  :undecided:
