Giles’ 488 Scrapbook

Cheers for explaining Giles. It wasn't so much the price I was surprised about, given diagnostic time, parts, labour it seems reasonable. It was more that an engineer felt the need to to put sensors in a seatbelt buckle in order for the car to assess whether to put on the handbrake. It just seems that the more sensors they put in these machines the more potential there is for sensors to throw faults, especially as the years pass and the cars start to get older. Oh well, hopefully sorted now and doesn't come back.

In summary, the main dealer has had my 488 for a working week, they told me they fixed the warning messages but haven’t, they were supposed to fit the new rear hub bearing bush (complete hub unit), but parts have been delayed so they haven’t done that either. But they have damaged the bumper.
So when I get the customer satisfaction feedback form to complete, what do I say?! 🤣
Cheers, Giles

I had my 488 serviced at Solihull and they wanted almost £1k to fix the radio issue of random no sound. Another main dealer had the upgraded software on a memory stick and did my car for free and it’s all fixed. Never going back to Solihull.
