sorry to hear about the wee car :( i worked for a bodyshop years ago when the owner took again a customers nova sri home without permission and lost control of it and killed it by going through a billboard, he took full responsability and replaced the car for the customer, not exactly like for like but a mint condition mk2 golf gti

not something the customer expected, one minutes hes supplying new panels to have the car restored and next hes selling the bits as the cars destroyed

Hi all, First of all sorry to hear about the damage, It looks a great car and hope you can get it sorted.

I have a couple of quick questions to ask.
1. Did the car actually make it to the MOT station? If so did it pass or have any advisories? The reason i ask is it will have the mileage printed on the paperwork pass or fail, if its a mile down the road from the garage but the clock reads more you know it was driven further than required and helps to prove they were joy riding it. The paperwork is printed after all break tests are done so they cant blame extra miles for use on the rollers.

Interesting read as his ex wife was in court the day previous to the mot for criminal damage to a car on the forecourt (if this is indeed the centre involved)

That article doesnt mention the date when she caused the damage? The article is the same date though as the Nova was damaged.

Do you want me to do some digging with a friend of mine in the South Wales press ;)

I haven't spoken to my friend yet but I have got the South Wales Post already looking at this thread :) :)

Good to see everyone appreciating the nova! (from someone who has both a beetle and a nova!)

This story is slightly wrong. That 206CC (2 months old) was damaged by the local Peogeot dealer when peogeot instructed them to do a repair to the leaking roof that the owner had cleary said not to do. The owner then drove there and then to Peugeot HQ and as you said in a clam and collected manner spoke to everyone they could. Peugeot gave the owner a courtesy car very quickly even though the 206CC was very new at the time and no one had any stocks. The car never was repaired properly and the owner got a new car.

This new car also leaked and when less than a week old the owner asked for a refund having lost all faith in the model. The garage & Peugeot UK refused. Peugeot UK supplied the owner with a courtesy car while they argued - 406 estate - lots of windows :) :) . The owner went to trading standards, got legal advice on a sign and posted it in all of the windws that were behind the driver and then drove around for a week. The sign basically stated what had happened and also a link to the 206cc owners website where a thread like thsi was running. This got a lot of publicity and the owner was quickly contacted and offered an immediate refund in full.

Now how do I know this? Well I was that person. This may sound like a rambling thread but the point I am trying to make is that if you do things right and get advice first you can get some cracking results.

If people want to help then can I suggest that you all go to the review of the garage that someone put up earlier ** Click for review ** and all click on the comment that links to this thread and mark the review/comment as useful. You can't be done for just clicking the review as useful but you will be helping as it will also help the review climb the search engines ;)

WOW - Thank you very much!! The only problem is I need a Limousine so that I definatly get attention!!!

Yeah but then if you look at it another way, it is just a nova, but because we're the nova enthusiasts it's more than just a nova to us, not poking abuse at Edd here but to use him as an example, he doesnt like fords and to him, for example a mk1 fiesta supersport, is just a **** fiesta!

But to the ford boys it's certainly not as they're the fiesta enthusiasts!

It's each to their own, i can fortunately appreciate pretty much all cars (with a few exceptions) but remember boys and girls, they will be reading this aswell, so if they want to say 'meh, its just an old scrapper' then let them be and if you dont like the cars their forum is about, just take the moral high ground and type nothing, but think it to yourself please :p
