Security and Service
Security
I have had somebody try and steal the car, they didn't drive the car away. But pinched the radio, without the panel.
Service
I went to one dealer in Nottingham and found them not wishing to help as soon as I told them I bought the car used. I then went to another dealer just outside Notts and they couldn't do enough to help.
