The Nissan Micra I bought from Fleetwood Car Centre

This is how the story goes.

The 06 Nissan was bought from Fleetwoood car centre on December the 2nd

The cars tracking was out so was retuened on wed the 7th

They had no capabilty to check it at Fleetwood car centre

so arranged for adjustment at a subcontractor the following day wednesday

Thursday the 8th the engine light came on and engine was running erractically.

The Car was returned to Fleetwood car centre that day.

Water in the exhaust was the reason given.

The light was out and all was well until it was topped up with fuel

Wednesday 14th Engine light back on again --

Drove poorly with engine fueling causing surging

Dropped off at The Fleetwood Car centre on the wednesdy 14/12/11

No offer of a courtesy car yet. We await a phone call.

Picked up again on friday the 16th at around 16:30 oclock. It was claimed a part had been changed

The car drove as it should this time but was low on fuel

I put 20 litres of shell in and about 2 mins doen the road the engine fault light came on.

I phoned the Fleetwood Car Centre at 16:49 to complain an arrange for the car to be returned on the monday insisting a courtsey car be provided. Time to get trading standards involved

Well they changed both Lamda sensors on tuesday and its been ok since

Well things are still Ok in 2012. So I guess I couldnt of asked for more allthough it cost us fuel time and aggravation.
