A week after getting the astra I noticed the rear discs were a bit scored. Rear pads were very low. I phoned them up and took it in. A couple of hours later they rang to say it was ready. I was expecting at least new pads. They said they had road tested it and brakes were 100%. I explained to the nice lady that they had just lost all the servicing jobs on the car. She shrugged her shoulders.
I asked whether the '100 point network Q inspection' should have picked this up. She shrugged her shoulders. "The car is safe to drive sir"

Tw*ts.

Noooooo, get something reliable, get a Rover

No matter what you get, people will tell you it's wrong. There are very few truly awful cars, and very few really great ones. They all have their pros and cons.

Very True,  and anyone could get a Friday afternoon one. My daily car is a Citroen, very long story, lots of friends warned me off but has been fine. Got this to replace a PT Cruiser, looked great but uncomfortable, for me, and drank more than a v6 Omega.

I don't understand that? Wear and tear items surely and not covered by network Q???

On the plus side, our dealer is great
