Brett has potentially solved my problem

just dont want to let the kwikfit brigade within 100 metres of my car!!

no offence to the fitters but they dont even cover the drivers seat half the time and having to explain how to engage 1st gear doesn't leave me re-assured!!

Ill have the same problem. Will need MOT and Inspection, so if it fails MOT due to subframe ill be snookered. Might have to get it MOT'ed before I go to Elms.

I guess if I have to wait 2-3 months for the repair ill just have to book it in when I can (Never know exactly when im home) She wont be getting used though just going back into storage so I guess Elms could just keep it but wouldnt fancy it sitting outside for 3+ months.

Car finally dropped off at Bedford Elms, greeted by friendly reception, sent off in new 320 sport... the 100 mile drive up was great, listening to the CSL musical notes... the drive back... comfortable... efficient... no fun...

Car will be in there for 3 weeks... I miss it already being my daily driver... on 94,000 miles now...

Collected car on Saturday, full valet done... Car looks great. I was so excited picking her up after being without her for 4 weeks.. back to using her everyday now. Service from Bedford Elms was first class, although they removed my original dealer sticker and placed an Elms one there!

My car should be sorted now, head gasket done, subframe done... all I need to do is break the 100k mileage barrier!

Hi Thrashermax what was total time from Diagnosing to getting car back

**SJA** · 03-10-2013, 10:02 PM

Nice one, sounds like second to none service at Elms.

Well here's hoping it is as my car is away to do a 1000 mile round trip next month for this service.
