Old Vanos

Looking at those photos confirms that I didn't have the gears changed last time, only the VANOS unit.

Parts on back order? How long are they expecting you to be off the road? Have you got a courtesy car???

Baz the parts on back order are not for the engine.
But i told them to keep my CSL till it is all sorted before i get it back it would
just sit in my garage till it was sorted

The space shuttle blew up in front of the world, a vanos unit has the right to fail.

That's what I had when I had my brake issue last year from that Dealer, a Black one. Diesel. I actually liked it, was handy for the camping anyway.

Any of you guys get charged for a courtesy car?

No, if its under warranty, the Warranty company pay for it.

If the car is getting serviced, I think you're supposed to pay £10 insurance but thats it. Normally I sweet talk the lassie into letting me off though!

Yip i am the same as Baz

I never pay for a courtesy car whether its service or warranty.

I rarely take one anyway cos I dont need it.
