Ignore him. Big John is also a solicitor etc. Pankle is a troll.

ahh thanks for that...

so me thinks they are also trying to pull another fast one...
they have called me up and said my MOT expires on the 3rd Jan so obvioulsy i cant drive my car after this...

I have just looked up on the government website and it says that it expires on the 31st Jan!! and also says that I got it done on the 11th Jan!!!!!

bod1467

And what does the MOT certificate/print-out say?

naz101

I bought my Auris brand new from a main dealer, I paid 10 pound a month by direct debit, for the first 5 years servicing. I only had it serviced once, then got rid of it after 18 months, so they refunded what I didn't use. It had only done 3000 miles, a waste really.

Now I have a far better car, brand new from main dealer, no charge for first 5 years services. (Ford) knowing my husband we wont have this for 5 years though, he seems to like buying the latest model.

We have only had this one 2 months (B max) and he is already looking in car showrooms, God knows what we are going to end up with next. As soon as I get attached to a car, it gets CHANGED. LUCKILY WE ALWAYS PAY CASH, SO NO hp PAYMENTS, ALTHOUGH I AM SURE THERE ARE FAR BETTER THINGS TO SPEND MONEY ON OTHER THAN NEW CARS. MEN URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If you're buying your cars outright with cash, why do you need to pay monthly for it's servicing?

I had a Toyota Auris a few years back, a 2.0 D-4D ... was a nice enough car. My only gripe with Arnold Clark though is that it came without a little chrome trim at the bottom of the bootlid that most others came with - they couldn't tell me why.

It was a deal they had on, 10 pound per month, the first service is always a cheap one then it gets dearer. It worked out cheaper paying monthly instead of paying at the time of the service. Not that we ever got that far.

so i have now checked everywhere. I cant seem to find my service book or last years MOT... Im doing well....:(
