The 3.0litres I've always said we're trouble in discos and ssrr's especially as the new extended push it as far as it can go service intervals make it silly! PSA intervals for the same engines were iirc lower miles/age!

New turbos where fitted as part of the warranty claim. Turns out that was part of the delay as the turbos where on back order for the UK (due to the amount of engines being fitted ?). I could have accepted that if ANYONE had bothered telling me instead of waiting for me to phone up to make sure the car was ready for collection on the agreed date 3 TIMES !!!!!!

None left that I know of, those days are long gone. Chipperfields = Stratstone Gordon Lamb = some large group (Can't remember which) Lancasters = Jardine Group. And so on. Maybe Peter Vardy (Junior) although I don't know who funds it all. His Old Man (utter criminal IMHO) sold out the Reg Vardy group to Pendragon some years back which kind of explains why there's so much dross in the Stratstone group now. They inherited it all (prestige brands) and the run of the mill stuff got merged into Evans Halshaw. As I've said before, find a place you like and build relationships with them. It pays dividends. ![]() |

The MD I have used since 2000 was originally a single site family owned outfit but bought by Harwoods about 10 years ago There has been no decline in customer service, maybe because they left things alone at the customer facing level. That's why I remain a happy customer. |

Gordon Lamb now owned by Bristol street/vertu motors. Our Skoda dealer was Gordon Lamb and was very good, now not so much... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
