Fcuk me, that took me by surprise! :eek: I know that none of ye have ever seen a C5 before, so I'll be sure to take a few pictures of it. :P I am looking forward to seeing if it looks any better with the bigger wheels. Fingers crossed! Yer man said that he can't NCT it for me. He said he'll book it in when he can and we can arrange a date, but as it's not due til November, he can't book it yet. But he did give me a written receipt stating the work that had been done to the car, and that they would guarantee an NCT until November 2017. The work done to it, according to the receipt, was; New timing belt, Water Pump, 2 gearbox seals, 2 front brake discs and pads, full service. If I have a warranty issue, I'll be curious to see how it plays out, but I have to say, my entire experience with Pat Coby at Coby Motors in Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate has been very, very good. I've found him excellent to deal with and I felt it showed great confidence in his stock by letting me bring it to Atlas for a check over before paying anything. (I wrote the address above just as an aid for anyone who may google or boards search in future). My experience, so far, has been entirely positive. THAT SAID.. It's off to my own mechanic tomorrow to get some verification that the work stated has actually been done on the car. I could be getting told porkies, but I'll know for sure tomorrow. Ultimately though, after a smooth drive home and a bit of messing around the town, I have a fairly big smile on my face. Cheers to everyone on here for listening to me droning on and on about it. I know I annoyed a few of ye, but I really, genuinely do appreciate all of the help assistance and information/advice that was given to me. Thank you!
