Thumbs down

Unlucky, but at least it'll get sorted under warranty.

I once bought a Vauxhall Carlton CDi way back in 1993 from a dealer in Southampton. At the time I lived near Poole in Dorset, so it was a fair way to drive home. Got to Ringwood and the CEL came on followed by the bl**dy thing conking out right in the middle of the dual-carriageway.

Dealer paid for recovery, a new ECU, new engine wiring loom and various other sensors, but only gave me a cr*ppy old escort estate to run about in. Took them over a month to sort it all out.

However… still one of the best/most comfortable cars I've ever owned and it lasted me 8 years.
