HAHA so much for reliability with new cars these days me girlfriend brought a 1.8 corsa sxi+ 3 weeks ago and yes its BROKE it broke down on friday night the engine started shaking and knocking and then died it wouldnt start up so its back at lookers in birkenhead and gettin seen to on monday haha ****in vauxhalls. lookers said there was no garantee that it would get seen to on saturday the little *******! not being funny but a customer pays ten grand on a new car it brakes down 3 weeks later they should see to it straight away in my opinion

Admin note: Title changed

Have they given her a courtousy car in the meantime?

I agree, its not right tht a car should break that fast, but give Lookers a chance to see if they resolve the situation adequatly first

which lookers is it in. A lot of new cars are shit like that due to all the computers in them. I bet it was an ECU fault that killed it,and the engine may be damaged due to all the shaking and banging it did

no they wouldnt give her one coz shes under 19 they wont insure her with one its in birkenhead lookers

O.M.G wot a joke

gutted, especially if the engines ****ed. I think you should be seen to asap too.

reminder to cali: get rid of your vauxhall, dont get another vauxhall, and get the audi! haha

my mum and dad got a brand new corsa 1.2 sxi from them last year and within a few months it broke down, it was something to do with the ecu, plus the clutch was dodgy and still is cause the keep fobing them off, the customer service there is crap

are the clutchs hydralic on the corsa?

My mate has had 2 brand new cars with ecu problems on both, a Vauxhall Astra and a Renault Clio.

Hence why i won't buy a new car, usually most problems are ironed out after 3 years.

something tells me its not vauxhalls, its just vauxhall corsas. i wouldnt buy a new car anywas. the resale value on them just isnt worth it. better of buying a 12 month old one at a quarter of the retails price just cos its got 1 owner.

Owen (neon-O) had to take his mk5 astra back after 3 months cos the ECU packed up,and they dont like doing burnouts either as that confused the ABS

Lookers are a joke!

i also remember on owens car, he changed the interior bulb to a blue one and the hole car ****ed up. he had to get a toe home in the end. how gay.

As somer of you may know i got a TD6 Range Rover several months ago.



This cost over £30,000 and i bought it expecting to have luxury trouble free motoring (The vehicle costs £60,000 to buy new)</font></li>
[*]It is currently getting £9,000 worth of warranty work carried out although the warranty has now expired
[*]Land Rover UK are involved as is my own solisitor
[*]They have had the vehicle for about 2 months now repairing it and its still not repaired</ul><font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">
Just a few of the things that have gone faulty and been or getting replaced :

• 2 x driveshafts (Only replaced 200 miles ago and gone faulty already)
• 2 x front headlamps (They have there very own ECU which is faulty)
• nearside mirror assembly
• Drivers seat airbag
• Rear suspension bushes (Upper and lower)
• LCD Display on dashboard
• Steering wheel
• All window seals
• Rear window (Incorporates radio ariel which was poor reception)
• Alternator
• Transfer Box ECU
• ABS ECU
• Air Suspension module
• Drivers door lock actuator
• 2 x brake disc backing plates (Corroded and broken fouling brake discs)
• DCS Control Unit

If all that wasnt bad enough when they last had the vehicle for warranty repairs it got damaged whilst in there care, they are obviously attempting to deny the fact......

Dont buy a range rover peeps

woohoo! I learnt something the hard way, well, at scooby's expense anyway. At least i know not to buy a range rover lol

well it turns out that they havent got a monkeys with whats up with the engine so its getting a new one. the car took 8 weeks to arrive from the factory so i hope that its not going to take another 8 weeks to get the engine. proper poo customer service

tell them ur not paying the finance over the period u havent got the car.Dont pay for something u arent able to use. How ****ing stupid are they,changing an engine when it could be fine,personally i think they shud change ECU and sensors first as if its electrical (which it 90% prob is) then the same ****ed sensors are gonna run the next engine poorly

Bloody pirates,engines are too complicated these days tho.far too many sensors used to make the economy "just right"

Scooby dont try to sell the rangy to anyone on here now you posted that.

make sure if lookers are changing the engine make sure they change everything that goes with it. make sure you also get the log book for the new engine as when its serviced both books will need to be stamped like on my car.

I have original service book and the replacement engine book. I would never ever go to lookers not even to buy a second hand car because of the workers and there lazy asred attitude.

i would go out of the area to cheshire or northwales for a car from vauxhall. although i have heard all vauxhall dealerships are a bit crap.

Why not, after having all that work carried out the car is FAULTLESS.....

I used to work for lookers in Chester and walked out after about 6 weeks, you really dont want to know what goes on behind the doors of a dealership, trust me

i do tell us as am nosey

Are you sure they spent £88,000 trying to get it right? Y not just give you another new one, as it would work out alot cheaper and alot less hassle for them, I cant see them paying that much, or maybe they did!

Thank God they've had 50 years to try get the Defender just right!

the warranty work WOULD have cost 88k if it was paid for,at 60 pound an hour labour and the rediculous prices put on the new motors and ECUs involved,but as land rover werent SELLING the services then it was much less. Just means that all the new motors have been given away instead of sold for hundreds
