So I have...
Funny rubbing/belt noise that has cost me loads not to get fixed...
Dent in the drivers door done by a 'park and run' at the Eden Project...
Air in the brake system after a calliper was replaced...
and now... (obviously just for the fun of it!)...
I have two 5p sized dents (through the paint and plastic) in the front bumper about 20mm from the botom edge just below the fog lights (44" apart)... The day after it went in for it's MOT and calliper replacement...
I know it wasn't there before then, as I cleaned the car the night before it went in (and, like many here, I'm a little OCD about checking for new stone chips etc...).
When questioned about it (I only originally noticed the bigger one of the two) one mechanic mentioned the possibility of the ramp having done it, before his boss abruptly shot him down before he'd even finished his sentence...
But it can't be speed bump damage (as first thought) as I drive like Morgan Freeman out of 'Driving Miss Daisy' when it comes to speed bumps (even to the extent of having grand-dad in his Micra try to overtake me between bumps today!! Bloody boy racers!!)and there is no damage or scraping between these dents... But scraping down from the dents and underneath the bumper (with fresh paint and plastic threads hanging down)...
As the guys that did the work are part of the Transport garage in work, I shall pop down tomorrow with camera and tape measure... and some of the 'pi$$ed off, bad attitude' I've been carrying around for the last day!!
The MOT was carried out at a test centre used by the work garage, and I'm there on Wednesday to get the brakes bled (I don't trust the work's garage now) with my camera and tape measure again... but I believe that the ramp/rollers used aren't the guilty ones (I've had work done here before and not experienced anything nearly as incompetent as this from them).
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow... as it looks a right mess... :cussing:
I must have done something 'really' bad in a previous life... this payback sucks a$$..
