Aston Martin recalling loads a cars....

Post by X5Sport » Wed Feb 05, 2014 7:13 pm

Should have stuck with your X6 M50D

Aston Martin recall.

Chinese factory using dodgy plastics on the loud pedal apparently.

At least he hasn't had his front wheel arch chewed off by a dog like the story that has been in the press recently!

Yes I agree Fords do seem to flood easy & that doesn't make starting them very easy!

Actually I've recently had my FOURTH replacement accelerator pedal done.  2 were wider recalls and 2 were 'we are thinking about recalling, so if you happen to come in we will do it for you' changes.

Anyway I've never had a problem operating the loud pedal and won't have to worry about it from 3 weeks' today (and counting).......

I've just had a front propshaft changed - a 'quality issue' even though UJ backlash to me is a safety issue!

Have fun with the VAG.  When you find how nasty they are, do come and see us again......
