Soldato
What about the intervening three weeks that I need a car for work? My car had a gaping hole in the water pump, so was not driveable.
It was three weeks (or more) of hire car costs and a free repair, (£25 per day for something bargain basement - cost £500), or pay c. £350 to get it done myself the following day, squeezed in down he local garage.
Did you not contact Skoda direct and ask them to arrange for a car? BMW assist when a car is off the road due to warranty work and no car is available from the dealer direct will arrange for a hire car in the interim period.
