79995 was on the spyder. I was not impressed by the condition, quite afew stonechips and the rear bumper was a different colour to the rest of the car. Plus its in grigio alloy which isnt top of many colour lists.. Def better buys to be had, if youre after one?

Courtesy car...

Wow they do one?

Really?

I have never been offered one.

Normally my wife picks me up in the MKV GTI or a mad racist cabbie rant and raving with me trying to tell him that he could be done for incitement to racial hatred (the advantage of being married to someone who works in equalities

I really am surprised at people saying they couldn't get a courtesy car. It's never been a problem getting one when I've had my car in.

i've never had one, but the only time i ever go to murrays is for warranty work, so i aint paying, so i never try too hard to get a car.

What's warranty work got to do with it? That's even more reason to be given a courtesy car. I got a car from Falkland when I had my service and it was less than half the cost of MMC so there's no excuse. I wouldn't book my car in if I wasn't being given a courtesy car.

ive now booked mine in for a service and asked for one.

You phone your company for cover for a limited time. You'll need details of the car from MMC. Usually doesn't cost a dime from your insurance (as the CC will be a 850cc Auto breadvan)

if you take your policy with you MMC will make the calls for you

Make sure you've done a reccie on the way there to note the closest fuel stop, as their courtesy cars are normally on vapours........

Strangley enough Ed i've adopted your policy of dropping the car off very early, and leaving the keys with security, and then running home!

One word of warning though. There is now a nice camp of pikeys across from MMc on the grass. They weren't keen on me dropping the car off the night before, but had the good sense to tell me why!
