Firstly - hello to one and all. I have been known to post on the 'other' forum but recently have found good response few and far between.
I do also apologise in advance as I arrive hear slightly disgruntled...
My car, a 4200CC (late 2003), is currently with Emblem having its 31K mile service. During the pre-inspection they noted a hairline crack on the main engine oil pipe – having seen a few recently they advised that it needed attention and I decided to leave it with them and get it replaced (rather than risk it cracking). The major service and pipe work takes the cost to about 2K...
I had another call from Emblem this morning saying that they now have the exhaust off and have noticed that one of the cats is starting to break up. Apparently this is an expensive part/section and they are currently getting prices (for new and used parts I believe).
At the moment I am frustrated – I bought the car in March and have driven barely 3K miles. If I go for a new part it sounds like it will be around the 2K mark giving me a bill of around 4K!.. This is just not possible at the moment.
I have contacted the garage from which I bought the car just to let them know my frustration. I also have a gold warranty from them but understand that this kind of work rarely gets covered.
I love the car but can't justify spending so much in so little time.
Anyway, any advice greatly appreciated…
