My daughter has an 07 V50 D5 automatic. No problems with the handbrake yet.(Famous last words) but, with an automatic and the selector in "park" is the transmission not locked anyway ? I've always owned manuals and was taught a very very long time ago,(I'm a bit old) to always leave the car in a gear the opposite to which it is likely to roll, i.e.pointing downhill, then leave it in reverse and if it's a really severe hill then turn the wheels so that if by some chance it still rolled away it would be against the kerb, assuming that there is a kerb of course.

My local dealer (doves of Croydon) just invited me for a safety recall concerning a clutch master cylinder. Turns out it was outstanding on my car. It's good to call them time to time...

The recall addresses a design fault within the clutch master cylinder, where a plastic pushrod is used and it may snap with use. The two to three hour job consists of replacing the master with an updated version that uses a metal pushrod. I need to do mine, I don't fancy loosing the clutch somewhere far from home.

Picked up today by SQUIRE FURNEAUX in Leatherhead.
Been told it wont be back until Wednesday. Given me a crappy 1.6 drivE S60. Hardly a match on the D5 S40. Nevermind. I have also flagged up some other issues with it namely drive splines, chirping suspension and a broken headlight connector that was broken by them on the service. But even that cant be 3 days work. No?? |

You are being punished for causing trouble...

If a Tech takes 3 days to carry out that recall, he needs a bit of training !
