Took my car in yesterday 8am ....for the following

1. Check suspension warning / Fault [ a previously repaired fault ]

2. Investigate knock/movement felt through steering column [ prev reported ]

3. Cure awfull rattle from behind driver seat - poss in B post or rear door ?

4. Refit securely/replace faulty 'A' post window trim which flew off on M6 at 80mph

So it went in at 8am yesterday....... didn't get a call until 5pm ..... to give me an update..... yes you've guessed it..... had to order some parts and will need to keep it another day..... so still running around in a Freelander = YUK

I wait today with baited breath ...................................

Well what do you expect.................... it's not meant to exceed 70 mph on UK roads so you were not using it correctly!

Not what I'm on about Tim.

The trim that came off was the black trim that runs down the 'A' Post next to either side of your windscreen. see pic

Was there any paint damage? If so, is the dealer accepting responsibility under warranty? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Ha Ha.....

Luckily it didnt completely detatch itself and was still fixed at its lowest point ( as it goes below bonnet level ) . As soon as it happened I opened my window and grabbed it holding it safe until able to stop.

I would recommend you all check yours for a solid secure fit. Do what I did to refit .... hit it from top to bottom with the side of your fist ... a good thumping always sorts things out
