Yes Geoff that is a good point lol !!

Well I would be complaining to Ruislip Honda and I have every faith in them, I am sure they would put it right.

Chiswick messed up my number plates and wouldn't put them right so Ruislip replaced them for me, when I got home I noticed that the back one had a big blob of glue stuck over one of the digits, Ruislip replaced it for me straight away and couldn't be any more apologetic - I like Ruislip

Yes.... And No! Honda pay any dealer to fix problems under the warranty. I had mt Fuelcap replace on Thursday and it was not the dealer I bought the car from!

So if your dealer is failing you move dealerships, they may even like the fact that the other dealer couldn't fix it had try a bit harder!

TC - ah yes, I'd forgotten the B&Q trolley, sorry!


I'm sure (from other complementary comments in here) that Ruislip will do youproud

But £800 is still a lot of money

From what you've said, the report stated that the paint was 'adequate' - I guess the question is whether or not you are looking to push this further.

Having a respray will (I would have thought) pretty much nix this, but I can also understand that you don't want to be driving round in a scratched car for any longer than you really have to.

At very least, get a lot of pictures - and I would recommend checking wiht your lawyer for they take on what affect it may have on your claim

But yes, you will be amazed at what scratches a detailer can get rid of with 'just' careful but prolonged use of top rate products.

As a guide, when I had my TT done, I paid (from memory) about £250 and the guy took all day on the car - and this inlcuded leaving me about £100 worth of cleaning product.

OK - so that wasn't to get rid of scratches (TT was only a month or so old at the time) - but the difference it made!

PS - seeing as how you have already met him, give Paul Dalton a ring - if he can't sort it, no one can, and it's time for a respray

And you can tell Ruislip that I went there on your recommendation.

Paul said he wouldn't be able to remove them, it needs re-spraying an his friend would charge me more than Ruislip from what he said.

That's bad news then TC - sorry to hear that

I took the car in today, told them I was really worried about the repairs showing, they assured me they won't show and then went on to say they were more worried I would get another scratch as soon as it is fixed

Thought it was funny that they are actually thinking that, they know my car is a damage magnet as Basegreen once said.

Were you in a mood at the time TC and they were refering to the look in your eyes and 'scratching the eyes out' of one of their engineers?
