Most of them do that, and add their own mark-up on to the price. My (st|d)ealer was going to charge me £225 to put a tow bar on the Freelander whereas the local towing place charged me £130.

yeah i thought it would be something like that, but we needed the towbar the first day we had the truck, and knowing our luck, if we have had it done by the towing place something would have gone wrong and invalidated the warrany or something stupid :twisted:
Disco Matt:
12s sockets used to be fairly simple - I think the specification calls for a couple of switched 12v feeds and a constant one? The problem is that new cars with all the electronics probably won't take kindly to you bolting a couple of relays in and running some wires to the back!
muddyjames:
that is what I am worried about Matt. I only need the reversing lights and constant 12v pins really. But having all of them work on a car I own would be nice!
Ford has just excelled themselves today. Took the ranger in to Northampton branch this time. Very friendly lady behind the counter. Took my keys, got the paper work sorted and said, we wil call you tomorrow mr butler with what we find. At that point I asked, what about a courtesy car to get home. She said she has none and wont do for 3 weeks now. :twisted: What would I like to do? Well, I wasnt walking home! Takes 45mins in a car! Nobody there could give me a lift, so I drove my own car home! That waisted some diesel. excellent. I love waisting diesel. feels so good to polute the atmoshpere with my gas guzzler and then re fill knowing that I am paying for some mp's sky tv or porn movie!
So I have come home steaming and right royally peeved off and just want rid of the problem. I cant be bothered to re book it today as 3 weeks time I am towing a caravan which I have been advised against doing. So thanks ford, you have now screwed up my weekend away too!
I think FORD stands for Find Our Rubbish Dealers!
Surely if someone drops off a vehicle then there is a reason they drive a car. Because they need 1!!!??? And with it being a comercial vehicle, they wouldneed it even more!?!?!?!? Please tell me I am wrong?
Rant over. For now!!
