The gripe with Arnold Clark is customer service is non existent, (allegedly) regardless of car make and model. All cars have problems, it's how the dealer and dealer networks treat their customers, when these arise, and Mr Clark is well down the list on customer satisfaction. Read the experiences of...

How about Car Park Auto Spares :lol: :lol: :police

As much as I like my dCi I am concerned about the longer term repair costs of any modern common rail diesel. Mine has so far been 100% reliable but now it's out of warranty any bills are mine Modern petrol engines are just as expensive to maintain and repair, and as long as you service a Diesel whe...

I don't know how these kits work but the air con system is supposed to have a specific amount of gas in it.
