\'ello again all.
i know which main dealer my car was sold by and part serviced by originally (when i bought the car there was very little service history with it). so i\'ve written them a letter asking for copies of any invoices of work done. i\'m also trying to find out if they have records of any the recall work done that\'s relevant to my chassis number.
anyone had any experience of this? am i holding out too much for a main dealer to reply!? :S
i bet if they don\'t know they\'ll try and charge me to do it! anyone know where i stand with that as well!?
cheers

look here and ask them if the relevent items have been done, pressure them mate

cheers mate!

i\'m preparing myself for a fight on my hands to get anything done!

there\'s about 3 there that apply to mine.

heard somewhere you get 3 years to get the work done, although i only bought the car in january. so not sure where i stand.

yeah, kind of hoping they\'re already done like you say. it\'s that thing of getting your car how you like it, i go a bit overboard trying to make sure everythings done!
nothing from them yet!
they were quick to send me a quote the other day though for a spare key! £97 for a non remote and £175 for a remote!!!

apparently a lot of it comes down to the main dealer getting the codes (they want to charge me £20 for that alone!). i don\'t know if you can order the codes and then get it coded somewhere else? i\'ve hear rumours that the keys and codes are tied in with an individual car\'s ecu. dunno though? might just be a vicious rumour!

update on my recall info letter to main dealer...

i was amazed! got a letter back within a week detailing when they\'d seen my car for servicing, with mileage, and a list of the recall work done!

although they couldn\'t give me any copies of invoices due to data protection. i was amazed at the response (and that they didn\'t charge me a £1000 for it!) :)

hello,

i wrote down the recalls from the vosa site which affected my chassis number;

Someone on the fiat forum had written down the fiat numbers as well, so i cross referenced and wrote the vosa number and the fiat campaign number for the main dealer so there\'s no queries!

hope helps!
