2010 Peugeot Boxer based motorhome. Never failed an MOT yet – until now.
31st July. Took motorhome in for MOT
Failed MOT due to airbag warning light being on – everything else OK.
The garage needed to send module away for whatever it is they do to it.
New starter battery is fitted in the meantime.
Apparently they have “disposed” of the old battery already so I told them they had better knock £10 off the bill then.
13th August (yes, 2 weeks later) Module is returned to garage and refitted for further setting up.
Oh dear!...module setup wrong and has to be sent off again for sorting out.
16th August - Module is returned to garage and refitted.
Oh dear!...things still aren't quite right. Now seat belt warning light is on. Something to do with the wiring beneath the seat (maybe) they say. Unfortunately it cannot be attended to for another week (staff with the specialist knowledge on holiday).
Strange as this new fault suddenly appeared as the van had not moved more than a few metres during all this. How do they know it's a wiring fault and not another “glitch” in the software?
19th August, Got a text saying van is now ready. Apparently, the electrical contacts on the module just need a waggle....So finally have the van back complete with MOT and £943 lighter in the wallet.
Feeling Ripped-off?....Definitely.
