Update re my complaint to Mini about car coming out of warranty with faults not having been fixed, being fobbed off, etc.
Car went in last Thursday for repairs, they offered to carry out the MOT and service (yeah cause they'd get some money out of me!) and it failed its first ever MOT! They kept it in overnight and sorted the problem - needed a new headlamp unit which was covered under the warranty thank god.
Since then my car alarm has gone off four times in the past two days. Feeling a little demoralised and have called and complained today. Don't know what I expected them to do (well, I would have liked them to beam the car down to their garage, sort it, and beam it back, star trek style) but of course thats not possible so I have to do another 200 mile journey to them next week to let them look at it. And I have to pay for the fuel.
This is their last chance. After that, the heavy guns are coming out. (My dad!)
In other complaints - landlord was hanging about outside my flat this morning waiting for other landlord to help him put in sound proofing upstairs. Have my fingers crossed that this goes a long way to sorting the problem as I'm stressing out that I'm going to have to move soon - there's no flats nearby for rent and I'm just fed up. I'm grinding my teeth all night, not sleeping properly, workload is mounting up, can't get time off till mid August, piling on the weight and not getting in and settled until 10pm any night. I just feel like I'm running on empty and about to lose it.
Sorry for the moan, I'm just feeling pretty low and crappy.
Now feeling like making a complaint to channel 4 for putting on not one but two wedding movies back to back last night. Do they not know I'm single and feeling demoralised?:tongue:oop:
