Well it went in today, SG Petch not filling me with any more confidence.
Dad dropped it off and confirmed they were going to look at the Air Con as it packed in again (for the 3rd time) and they didn't know about the problem despite me calling them yesterday about it. The chap at the service desk then asked my dad who normally pays for the repairs to the car
. My dad told him as far as he was aware it was them as the car is only 8 months old!
They also dont appear to have any history of the air con failing the other two times despite the last time it going caused the alternator to kill itself!
My dad also mentioned about the left over oil and the chap tried telling my dad it wasn't special oil and it came from a big drum! I hope the engineers know better than this person. He seems clueless about an Abarth.
Will have to post an update later.
