Jamie, did you get my PM ref bringing the car in, sent it today but its now not showing in my PMs

Yes its a warranty issue so no moneys involved, unlike my air con condenser that a stone just punctured :/

I'm supplying two new tyres and they're also going to stick them on to save me the cost of having them fitted myself.

Well at least that is working out for you sorry to hear about the condenser they can be fairly expensive.

[kime252]

...£550 according to Citroen !

[Aidan@Partsworld-uk.com]

they are very expensive...PM me your reg and i can see what we can do it for.

I meant when out of warranty, ie if my wheels are corroded and the car is 3 1/2 years old will Citroen replace them.

[kime252]

I'd say they should still replace them as a product is supposed to last a reasonable amount of time and its already a known issue this could possibly be a big headache for Citroen!

Its ok thanks Aidan, I picked one up from GSF and had it gased from a local guy for £30. Didn't realise garages charge £72 an hour labour now!

Having mine changed also, they took pictures and rang me a few days later to tell me they had orded brand new bellones... The day before due to be fitted recieved an answerphone message to say the wrong alloys had come in! Gutted, rebooked in for next week now. Looking forward to rolling round with fresh rims :cool:

[Berty]

Are they really changing alloys on cars upto 4 years old?

[Dsportdan]

Not sure about 4 years old, thought it was just in the 3 year warranty?

[kime252]

I recon if you went through something like the citizens advice bureau or the office of fair trading and quote consumer rights you have a pretty good chance. If looked after normally they should last longer than 4 years and since Citroen seem to admit theres a problem surely they'll have a hard time arguing its because you haven't taken care of them reasonably?
