    What is it you do danni? Thanks for the reply, iv been looking at getting one from there, i doubt id ever manage to get finance for a car, my credit rating is shot to pieces already. And theres noone i can really put down in my place. I wish i had a mini or simular im fed up of my van its just useless, problem after problem!

    tesco, well my advice is go to a proper mini place, stay away from arnold clark, i believed them and they costed me £800.

    also i have the emails kept saying they will delete and ignore me if i reply again, so is that not bad service, also if you don't believe i am happy to look through my emails for them :D

    Large Ford dealership, we bought our 1 year old Focus from them and this car was an approved, multi-checked car. At the first service it was advised that the car needed new front pads and discs, blamed on the compound used of the pads that it had caused damage to the discs. A total lie. Had it independently checked and there was no need for any replacement, and no need since. Only pads. This was 6 years ago and the Ford dealership has gone now. I just don't trust anyone where cars are concerned.

    I hate ford. I thought I was getting a good deal, so went for the wrong colour different spec everything. For this good little car. The clutch fell the the floor within 2 days (10 miles!!!!) and I was told it was still a good little car, really bad customer service and liars... they replaced the clip.. so who knows how long that will last!
    I was told it was 1 owner who didnt smoke. I have later found a burn in the chair and on the roof!
    Also i couldnt do a proper test drive as it only had 11 miles of petrol left.
    It's my own fault for going for it really... but I still blame my dad as I had the perfect car lined up elsewhere...

    Worst thing is I now live 2 miles from work!

    Do you have any other savings with them? I've noticed some banks may pay interest on a certain date, but it doesn't show on online banking for a few days afterwards. I can't normally see my NatWest interest on the last day of the month, though this is the day it is dated - I can see it 1-2 days later.
