It is beyond belief after all that's happened you would have thought they would have been confident the car was right before giving it to you. What a bunch of morons they must be!
Even if they get it right this time how long is it going to be before you gain any confidence in this car?0 -

Still not got car back so I think it is now time to call it a day. I have given Hartwells every opportunity to put things right and they do but then something else goes wrong. I am going to try to get a full refund. Wish me luckSealed Pot Challenge member #982
