Well, what else can I say! Totally demoralized and left without much faith at all would be another way of putting it.
So, I popped my car into the dealers on Tuesday morning, was there for 8:10am as I was handing mine in for a loaner - first bit of disappointment, the bloke with the keys to the safe for the cars was late and didn't stroll in till 8:45am, they had my number, surely they could have rang me to let me know. Anyways, get the C3 and off I pop.
Anyway, today, was called to say the window rattle had been resolved, apparently some vibration from some fuel pipe or something was the cause, it had been sealed up and no longer an issue. So, leave work early and get to the dealers, happily swap back the keys and leg it. Not 2 minutes up the road, the resolved rattle issue reappears with a vengeance! Not only that, a couple of minutes later I get a warning on the display saying, 'Electrical or battery fault!' and the wee red battery icon lights up on my dash board.
So, phone 'em back, arrange to come back down and get the loaner again, which incidentally I'd been told wasn't available and that they needed it back - hence why I left work early. Not only that, but I'd filled the loaner up with more than enough to cover me the 2 days. I'd left my DS3 in with about 100 miles worth of fuel in it, picked it up and it had the fuel warning gauge lit up, pressing the trip button it told me I had about 20 miles of fuel left! Cheers Citroen.
All and all, I've been left feeling completely dejected over this whole thing. I was in such a rush tonight as I had my sons swimming gala to attend, having to drop him off first then going back to Shitro-, sorry, Citroen. Luckily, the bloke who sold me the car was there and I let him know the score. This is TWICE now that I've had to take it back after the initial fault was not resolved, albeit different faults, but I've got very little faith left now in them in regards to fixing the car.
Never thought I'd be in this shit situation, but if somethings gonna happen, it'll usually find a way of happening to me.
Not impressed at all, almost scared about leaving it there again - cause I honestly don't know if they are even bothered about resolving these issues that are covered by warranty.
Anyway, rant over. I'm going to open my bottle of 12 year old WL Weller that I was saving for Christmas and get myself nicely drunk.
