Side lights that are 'on' all the time, think back to early (80's) Saab's and Volvo's, the new range of Audi's which have LED lights.

Volvo's run with side lights on all the time.

Car is in with Harry Fairbair today.

They phoned to say that is was a programming fault.  They ten went on to say that re-programming was not covered by Warranty.

I then told them that I had been told by their service manager that it was covered by warranty.  The service manager phoned the warranty compnay on the day I went in and they told him that is was covered.

They then phoned back to say sorry yes it was covered.

My car is getting re-programme and to quote the guy on the phone "it will be updated as of today to match the programmes that are installed on E60's coming off the production line and that I might notice some differences with the iDrive settings" 

Wait and see.

They gave me an E90 318i to drive.  It's really uncomfy, no leather, manual and really slow.  Nowt happens in 5th gear when you floor it.

I think it was a Yaris and a Focus.

Lights all fixed now.

Harry Fairbairs staff were most pleasent. 

They talked to me, not at me or over me like some dealers do. 

And they gave me my car back at the end of the day which was an improvement over the last time it was in at a main dealer!

Still getting worked up over a trivial issue like getting your car nicked from the dealers?

I had the craic with my solicitor a week past on Friday and he told me to keep going with the insurance company.

Called the insurance company and they will pursue my excess and any other costs from the third party.  It is not their highest priority as the sums of money are low (in the grand scheme of things).

I need to detail my costs in full to the insurance company and they will pass it on.

I'll update the original post at some point.

Yeah that's right, dead trivial, Mr Bannon thought so too.
