So when we returned from the MS centre yesterday, there was a message on the answering machine from the garage. The Old Bat's car would be returned during the afternoon and if no-one was at home the keys would be put through the letterbox as there would be nothing to pay. That was a bit different from the £250 we had originally been quoted. Anyway, the OB returned the call - goodness knows why; I'm not sure even she knows - and expressed surprise that there was nothing to pay. She was told the final bits were being put back even as they spoke and that the work was being done under warranty. Under warranty? The car is eight years old! Wisely, the OB decided keep her mouth shut.
Later, the phone rang. It was the garage. Their driver had been returning the car when the battery warning light came on indicating no charge. The electrics have now been sent away again as there is a short in the wiring. The will be no extra charge over and above what was first quoted.
So when the car will be returned is anyone's guess. As is how much, if anything, it will cost.
