Heatsink Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Here's an update:Our car came back from the garage yesterday with the following bill, slightly cheaper than expected:Diagnostic check £40O2 sensor £71.25Fuel £10 (new)Contaminated fuel £12 (disposal / Storage of sample?)Labour £69VAT at 17.5%Total = £237.65The roving reporter that I am, tonight I spoke to the manager of Cambourne Morrisons about the contaminated fuel issue. Here are some bullet points from what he told me (some of his claims to be substantiated)Trading standards until now didn't test for silicon in petrol, hence the earlier claims that petrol had passed all tests.He won't fill up at Tescos because he knows of 3 local garages where they haven't cleaned out the tanks but instead have poured petrol over the top.Morrisons head office is dealing direct with customers regarding car repair claims and our local store will forward claims.To claim they require receipts for work done and petrol (bank account print outs are ok)He has had no assurances from Head office that they will sort this out.I found this press release from Greenergy, the supplier of Tescos and Morrisons petrol in the South East. Released on the 2nd of March at 9pm. Seems a clear admission of contaminated petrol being supplied. (PDF file)http://www.greenergy.com/home/Fuel_quality..._02.03.2007.pdfThe evidence is clear, and although Morrisons haven't handled it well I have no doubt I'll be getting my repairs paid for soon (or at some point before the end of the year) and any one else in a similar position should too Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I finally got in contact with my mobile mechanic to sort my car out, he agreed with Prawn - petrol wouldn't have gone through the lines that quickly after filling up. Looks like my cars just playing up at a coincidentally suspicious time. Hopefully its just something simple in ignition system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
