It's Going Back Now
Time has come.......
I have had that many problems now got to take the sccob back and demand a refund.
The thing that finaly tipped it for me was I thought the car speedo was a wrong.
Pal came round with a road angel and its 10mph out, that is im doing what i think is 30mph and im really doing 40mph. That means it should have failed its SVA along with a few other problems.
All I can say is thank god I didn't pass a speed camera.
So a call to Trading Standards and car taken back.
I am sad to see it happen but I have been messed around too much now.
Any one else had any thing like this when they bought thier car?

I cant even open the back door fromthe inside.
I never got a copy of areport saying it passed the SVA but did see a copy of the failed one.
All i can think is that some how they have managed to get a dodgy MOT and SVA because i cant think that it would have passed these with the problems.
I am still tryign to get the other problems fixed they have changed the tyres three times now, the first ones were worn and the second ones were far to big for the arches now they changed them to worn ones took it back and now there too big again.
The header tank still needs repalcing, thier complaing that they have no time to get it booked in.
Also i have let it go that they took out the "air flow tweaker"? that was in the car when we bought it.
The list goes on and on.
The manager is apparently in Japan so we have no one to talk to who has authority to do anything about this.
I am finding out all to late that the dealer has a reputaion for being "cowboys".
Dishartens you when I love the car esp as it is my first performance car.

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems Clare....this is one of the reasons I decided to go for a genuine UK spec car. I would have liked to have went the import route but you just cannot guarantee the cars true history. I hope that this doesn't dishearten you too much as the Scooby's are great cars. I hope you get this sorted PDQ!

back door is probably the child lock
once bought a 205 1.9 gti with 12 months mot.
had it serviced and the garage said it was unsafe to drive as the front suspension was about to fail, electric problems galore and the syncro was knackered on 3 and fourth.
took it back and got a refund after threatening legal action.

It's a pity that the dealer can't sort out all your problems

I'm not far from them not that i know anything about them, prices of some of their cars seemed a bit on the high side tho on the couple of occasions i had a look around. Hope you get it sorted.

Not all importers are like that though, sounds like you've just had a bad time with your first experience - don't let it stop you from going to a more reputable dealer the second time like here
