Our mondeo is going into the garage to get some body work done it after someone slid into it in the snow. Just sitting in now waiting for the courtesy car to arrive. Not sure what it'll be, when we went to the body shop I saw a polo and a fiesta. Also it'll have the funny garage name on the side, which always makes my laugh. I'm just getting nervous about what it'll be I guess whatever it is I can't compain, it's only a couple of hundred quids worth of mondeo going in  2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

So, the courtesy car will be worth more than your damaged vehicle? Bet you're hoping it snows more often Andy?  MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

I remember taking one of my Father's works cars into Peugeot for a service - it was an L plate 306 XL - I think they saw me coming so gave me an F Plate 405 L with over 100k on the clock - was a bit of a laugh until I tried the brakes for the first time

Yup, but the courtesy car will be smaller than the mondeo, and I hate small cars!

The delivery driver has just been on, asking me where our town is. A bit scary saying it's only about 10 miles away from the garage and he's never heard of it  2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

We've had some awful loaners in the past, a lime green Honda Jazz with 6 miles on the clock, a 106, a punto, and a 406. The 406 was quite nice, it was new at the time. The 106 and the punto sat on the drive and weren't used, and the Jazz had to be used but was nasty! 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

Andy,

The other side of the coin - once took my Sisters 440 Volvo in for a service and was given an 850 T5 - now that was a fun day

At least it was a LR product. The Jazz we had was when the Freelander went in for some warranty work (dodgy electrics). Serves us right for buying from a Honda stealer  2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

Nice, perhaps we'll get a Ford GT

Envoy, that really does sound bad for an M5, we had only taken a mondeo in. I had to sit in the back of one once with 2 girls, it was bloody cramped, and they were mingers  2002 Discovery Adventurer LE
