fair play to the AA

[Dart Vader]

on Tuesday my trusty 120k Insignia let me down, battery light came on while going through the roadworks on M5 southbound near Worcester.

managed to limp it to a customers at Pershore, and it died.

AA called, 30 mins later he came out, auxiliarybelt had snapped, he rang a local motor factors, went off, got the belt. hour later he was back and it was fitted.

totally polite, speedy for getting to me quickly, didn't shrug his shoulders and get it towed. top man.

Sorry Chris about not making it to pick up the motor, wouldn't have looked good at the Vauxhall dealer with a V8 in the boot !

got to say I've been very impressed with the car, it's a company car so it does about 40k a year, it's never put a foot wrong until then.

next car has to be a German one so it'll be a,,,,,,a,,,,,,BMW

The AA brought me all the way back from Le Mans a few years back after I broke a Prop Joint on my Caddy,they get my vote every time.

My 6k miles insignia broke down in virtually the same place a few years ago.

My Beamer has done over 90k miles in less than three years and never missed a beat. Still drives like a new car.

Build quality difference is visible immediately. I would never swap back.

No contest IMO

My A6 has 160k on it now - still on orig clutch and battery! I think its had a front spring and an intercooler - other than that serviced every 20k.
I cant fault it at all - its been an epic car.

189k on a 406 HDi has had a clutch as the missus kept resting her foot on the pedal and killed the thrust bearing front springs 1 broke changed both and an exhaust as Pikeys stole the cat
As a motorway plodder can't fault it
