Haha ... I really should have moved after selling my 172! Not because I was worried about the 172, but because Nik and Day came round unannounced (where they'd been with you that day) when Nik got his Trophy and the missus has never got over itEspecially private sales, from somewhere near Portsmouth
.

Corr ... I actually take a step outside of General Chat for once, and it's a roller coaster ride of a thread!
Buying cars is always a nightmare, and to prove the point I've been told I've got to ring up Citroen today, since one of the keys has packed up, and now I've got to argue with them about how the first year warranty on a Citroen Approved used car is as per a new car and so should cover everything.
Anyhows, there's a different point ... if Richardson ever has enough, what are you thoughts on much older men? I love redheads; you've got great spelling and grammar; you've fire in your belly about things being done properly. It'd be fun! :evil:
Deviant! LOL.

Haha ... tho' you stole my punch line
:rasp:.Fingers crossed for a positive outcome to your car trials!
I had a similar problem when I bought my 1.2 Evans Halshaw lost the service book and manual. In the end they got me a service book and stamped the service they'd done. I then had to go to Arnold Shark and get them to stamp the service they had done.
Luckily at less than 2 years old it had only had two services so wasn't hard to trace its history. The bloke I sold it too didn't even no what a service was anyway so it wouldn't of mattered come resale either way.
I actually had to buy a manual off ebay too. I should have persued that realy but I just wanted a car and I got it dirt cheap so was more bothered about driving it.
Hope you get it sorted out though, If you pay for a car with FSH that is what you expect. I'm sure you won't but just don't back down and make them sort it out.

19 Pages and no conclusion, thank fcuk you don't work for the United nations.
I'd rather have 0 service history and know its been to someone like Rentech for every service, as opposed to some 17 year old YT pleb doing it at Renault, before ragging it up the road on its brake test, FSH is only as good as the guy who's doing it.

Have you read any of the latest posts, Dave, about what's happening? No?
Right, then C.B.H!
I have to give them the opportunity to correct this. I can moan that they've had since last Thursday all I want, but they've got till this afternoon to find the book on site. If not, it'll move onto the next stage - as I've already said about 50 f**king times.

Well, it seems that my calling round the dealers from where one it's previous owners has, thankfully, turned up a record of a service in February 2007.
I contacted Evans Halshaw and provided the details. Adam has ordered a new service book today, called off the search for the old book, and is going to ring Renault Orpington and get a new book all fully stamped for me.
It's such a relief, however it doesn't mean they're going to get of any more lightly. When I have the service book in my hand, I'll do a Les Grossman on their ass.
Thanks everyone for comments, and especially Steve Murr who provided some really useful advice via PM also.

LOL I won't be Mike. CBA. But one of the NE lot might help with a PC at some point when it's warmer. It'll be the first and last one it'll ever get probably.
Edit: Sorry missed your post Aluco. Yes, I've no reason to complain now they've - well I've -found the missing history. It'll be as they sold it, which I was happy with.
I still hate them for f**king it up, but meh.

Oh how things have changed. You used to spend hours and hours cleaning the blue shed.
At least it's all sorted now.
Ending of this thread is bit of an anti-climax.
