  • April 2004

On Monday 6th April less than a month after it was fixed, the Car is now worse than ever. The car was fine on the way to work, then on the way home as soon I started the car, I was presented with a selection of error messages on the display, Anti-pollution Fault, Catalytic Converter Fault and one other message which I can’t see as the display is now flicking between all these messages to fast. The engine light is flashing, there is a constant beeping and the Car is now also misfiring. I drove immediately to Drivers of Prestatyn and asked for the Chief Engineer to witness the state of the car. He was most unhelpful and was unable to guarantee a day to fix it or a courtesy car.
