Is this covered under warrenty - richje100 - 3:rd-Jul-2014
Hi guys, not sure if a ball joint is playing up.
Steering doesn't feel very secure (might be my mind tho!!) and going over speed bumps makes a thud sound.
Cars in for service tomorrow for a 2nd service which they class as a major service so wondered if they check joints and if found to be knackered will replace.

mention the problem when it goes in and see what they say
but i will take a guess and they will say its fine

Ye they prob say its wear and tear. Shouldn't be too expensive if they are shot anyway.
On a different note, vx offered a clean out of all old oil and clean the fuel lines inc injectors for £18. They just going to use redex for the fuel ?

they do an engine flush before the oil change if you pay extra about £50 but injector cleaning will be something they throw in the fuel for that price

I would rather use pro-tec funny enough I spoke with my mechanic about flushing the engine when doing an oil change and he said the only time he would recommend it is if there was a problem or after xx amount of years.
Most likely there way of screwing an extra £18 out of you.
And the chap who comes to pick the car up wont have a clue as he's just a driver
