Won't move it until they get back to me. :-(
Bugger them!
Its under warranty so regardless of stupid technician error or bad engine design its on HSV.
Get them to transport it to the workshop at their expense to sort it out.
And waiting for gauges to tell you whats happening to your engine????? WTF?
Your car could have caught fire FFS!!!
I have seen it happen with my own eyes, albeit an oily rag left under the bonnet.
You pay F'N good money for HSV to service our vehicles properly but unfortunately in this day and age we have to constantly check every ones work to be sure.
What happens if you are a complete idiot when it comes to cars but like a nice ride?
Actually for the idiot on here that said you should regularly check under the bonnet, try servicing your own Lamborghini and see how far you get.
Yea, I know, its a stretch from a 'normal' car but I am trying to make a point.
