It could be the sliders weren't re-greased.
Sadly most dealerships are like this TBH I'd find a good local mechanic.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Definitely from the front, drivers side.
It turns out that this is now bottom of the worry/priority list. The car cut out 3 times during a 5 minute journey this morning. I have to rev to 3k plus before I can release the clutch to pull off without it losing all power. Very distressing when I have my 2 year old in the case. The engine management light throws up a “lean fuel” fault. The “dealership” accused me of letting the petrol run out which wasn’t true by any stretch. They cleared the fault and I went to drive away before it returned. The mechanic told me to buy some Redex and fill it up with fuel. Spent £60 doing so and the fault is worse than ever. To the point I am fearful to drive the car with my child in it. I suspect maybe the previous owner had a habit of letting the fuel get too low and has caused damage in the process.
I am really at my wits end with it. When I accelerate to pull off the rev counter stays up for far too long. Then when idle it judders. Stutters when accelerating and like I said earlier, cuts out if I don’t give it at least 3k revs before releasing clutch. My so called family seem to think it is all in my head and I am worrying. My partner has took the car out himself after I refused to drive it and he assured me there is something very wrong and suggested I take it elsewhere. The problem is I have paid for a warranty so I shouldn’t have to keep paying out for repairs which should be covered!
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
