NOT HAPPY!!!

[hobsey]

I have to say, my experience of being a first time Frontera owner is by any means a good one.

Last saturday my truck broke down with me not being able to attend picnic in the woods on the sunday, I forking put £100 to get it towed away because I didnt have break down cover and now yesterday a woman in a softroader (bmw X3) pulled out in front of me with the end result of me hitting her wasnt a good one.

She said she didnt see me was good enough but then we ask why the hell she was on the wrong side of the road while she was pulling out, she came back with " I've just come back from france and was confused!!" You bloody made it back from Dove to Guildford ok, Why the hell now!

Not much damage to mine but with the age and how much its worth, it maybe a write off. Her car was worst off though.

To say I'm bleep off is an understatemant.

Gutted for ya mate, hopefully you will be able to get any damage to your motor sorted yourself with help from
the FOG members.

Got my truck back at last after 2 weeks, still not happy though.

With it being silver, quite possibly the worst colour to match the repair is spot on.

Checking the truck over, it has more scratches on it then it went in. The bonnet looks like it has been taken off and surfed down the road on with how many scratches are on it. Called the body shop, couldnt careless comes to mind.

Worst thing is, we get our fleet vans from them. It may have to be a talk to my director of my company to get anything done because the body shop doesnt want to know.

If I cant get anywhere, is there anyone in the horsham area who can do a cheap repair job on my bonnet?

[gregster]

if you can hang on a bit, I could do it for you...might even be able to give you a loan bonnet while I do yours...need to paint my landy first and get it out the workshop...How much metalflake to do want on the bonnet sir?????

[hobsey]

Cheers gregster but no metalflake thanks.

I will talk to you about it at the next bbq if it doesnt breakdown again the night before.

Unfortunatly there are alot of bodyshops like that around especially when it comes to insurance work. My last car went in for a rear bumper and came back with the reverse sensors wires all cut, the towbar electrics all cut a broke rear light and a nice big scratch on the boot lid. Too say i wernt happy is an understatement and neither the boyshop or insurance company wanted to know, ended taking it further to a small claims court to get it sorted and because i refuse to take delivery of the car they left it in their compond with the windows down.

Hope you get it sorted there is alot of cowboys out their.

[hobsey]

Cheers fella, im hoping my directors can get it sorted for me as in the past 6 months we have got about six vans off of them with proberly more to come when the old vans start to die off.
