Magnet Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello Simon, Many thanks for being in touch. When you say ‘they (who fitted to gadgets?) refuse to listen’ - who are ‘they’? Can we take it you have had this work carried out on your new car at the main dealer? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy678 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 i had to get followed by a recovery to the Main dealer so they look at it, it’s currently at Main Dealer & the technical is refusing to listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello Simon, Sorry, but you are not telling whether these gadgets were fitted at the main dealer or not. Were they? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy678 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 the UTR cameras was fitted by the main dealer but someone has mentioned turning the Parking Mode off my cameras as i get a lot of traffic going past me front & rear at work plus my camera was fitted by the tracker company & the main dealer saying it’s not that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Sorry Simon, but it’s getting very difficult to advise you where your redress is, since we don’t know whether the car was OK after the main dealer fitted the cameras, but has given problems only after the tracker was fitted. If that is the case then your main dealer will likely to be charging for any investigation and repair work, since the issue will not be their fault, but until you give us a clear order of who did what, when, and when the problem arose, then obviously everything is just assumption. Sorry, I don’t think I can advise you at this stage. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBoy1 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Mine was in for 2 weeks (admittedly over Xmas) and the dealer had to liaise with Germany as the fault codes would not match up with what they had. Eventually sorted and have had it back a week or so. Today it displayed “electrical problem” and to pull over safely followed by limiting the engine to 1400rpm (awkward when it’s an automatic). There have been no modifications and was registered October 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
