Good morning all,
Swmbo is not a happy bunny this morning.
Drives Treg to the farm to check horses and on returning to the car cannot get the gearleaver to move from the park position. Naturally I am 20 miles away on duty and get the Help!! call. tried the usual things ie switch on/off, key in and out cross fingers and toes etc but no joy. I suggest calling VW Assist and to be fair they were out within the hour. They had great difficulty getting the car out of park and had to resort to stripping out the Centre Console and eventually managed to get it out of park and into gear. the VW assist man then dropped Sue back home and left his van there and drove the Treg into Dane Chester who at this moment have no idea what the problem is or when it will be sorted.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or is it a one off??
Meanwhile VW Assist through Europacar have offered the following hire vehicles.
1. Kia Sedona.................rejected
2. Skoda Octavia............ rejected
Very fussy swmbo and is sticking out for like for like but somehow I think she will be disappointed.
Will update when available.
Tom ( who is for once is glad to be in work!!
