….when the Landrover Assistance guy waves at you when he sees you on the road 🙁 Well it happened today on the way home from the school run 🙁
Guess we have seen him too many times recently. Prob doesn’t help when we know him by his first name either…
On Friday we went down to Xscape in Castleford and had our (Vicky and Simon) running ‘gate’ checked at the Sweatshop. It seems that both have neural gates so ordinary running shoes are more than adequate BUT Simon does have a slight twist to his ankle that might well benefit from having better support at the ankle. So, new running shoes all round it seems and we are now getting out again to build out that fitness etc and help stave off the lard 🙂 Plus, given we have made the investment in new running shoes, then we are slightly more motivated to get our money’s worth.
Let’s just hope that the nicer weather hangs around for a little longer to make it all easier and more enjoyable 🙂
Landrover Assist came out to see Brice first thing this morning and concluded that the driver door locking mechanism is faulty and will most likely need replacing. So we elected to take the car to the Farnell dealership in Leeds (rather than driving all the way over to Guiseley AGAIN) to be fixed. While it is meant to be the same group company, it does not have the me feel about it from our first impression but at least it is only 10 or 12 miles away rather than being nearly 30 away.
They have called Vicky this evening and have confirmed that the door lock on the driver door is indeed faulty and have ordered a replacement. They have also ordered new wheel arches as apparently they were also failing and needed replacing. All good news for us as it costs us nothing to have the car enhanced 🙂
Anyway, we should have the car back by the weekend and then we will just have to wait and see for how long we are good before it needs to go in again. Sadly it does appear to have come to the feeling that it is a bit of a lemon – hopefully we will get a good few months of painless ownership to erode the ill feeling that we have of the car at present.
Unbelievably the car now will not lock. It does seem to have been a catalogue of issues over the last couple of months where that motor is concerned.
Land rover Assist are coming out to see him again tomorrow – we just hope that repairs can be conducted at the house – else we have another 60 mike round trip to take the car back to the dealer AGAIN 🙁
ALL NIGHT LONG.
Wow. Maybe we are truly into Spring after all.
Still, think will keep the snow shovel in the garage….
