I called Dartford spike to a guy he said email Martin. I did that on Monday no reply so will ring today. If I go down there they wont see me or plug me in I doubt so will end up driving back unresolved. Thought he would have replied by now. Bloke said he replies to his messages Current Cars

Was weird when I called. It was like the guy didnt know who martin was and then asked me to email in 🙈🙈

But to be fair I dont hold it against people I know how it can be sometimes. Hopefully he replies today as I want it fixed

Yes hopefully. Advice to all. When you know somethimg is goikg to cause you problems please trust your gut. I knew and said to myself before I bought the car it will be a whole lot pf trouble...true to my word it has been

I will just blame he pandemic for my irresponsible thinking ha

It will be fine just a pain to get ot sorted. The two Garages the car has been in to should have been able to diagnose and fit it. All they did was take £1800 off me. Still lesson learned perhaps Current Cars

So am I but apprehensive a little as I dont want to throw loads more at it. Was meant to be a cheaper option to the car I sold. Fingers crossed.

I will update definitely Current Cars

Ash, as all the faults seem to be low voltage and/or power interruptions, have you checked the engine to chassis earth strap? If it's loose then the rocking of the engine under power/overrun may be enough to cause these problems. Could of course be something entirely different, but checking and tightening a loose earth strap is free........

Haha Sam where were you 3 weeks ago ha.

So car is in with Martin

Dropped off yesterday 10:30am

Got a call at 4:30pm. They know what the problem is but want to run more diagnostics. Will cost £88. No problem mate. What is the issue

It is missfiring!!!! Yes Sean I told you it was missfiring when I booked it in. What is the issue. Oh we dont know so will need to keep it over night and do more diagnostics on it. But so far it is £88

OK Sean so you dont onow what the issue is?? OK keep it over night and let me know. That was yesterday. I have not heard from Martin or Sean today.....So I really don’t know anything. I thought as a specialist it would have been quite quick to find out the problem or quicker but I guess somethings stump even the very best Current Cars
