Sorry to hear that, the company I worked for got taken over and so far they have made all but 6 of the previous 125 staff redundant. Depending on what you currently do (are you early phase or working on drugs once they get into patient testing) and your background you can stay in research and go to a CRO or company supplying clinical trial services. For example I work for a company supplying cardiac safety and respiratory equipment and services into all phases of clinical research and we have people from all backgrounds working in various departments. Is your company moving the research work to another location or are they outsourcing?

I can only assume that they didnt road test it, it had 2 more miles on there from when I dropped it off and they should have noticed that so

Just a quick update from my experience of the service at Nissan Dartford everything was good and the car was nice and clean but after a short drive down the road to my horror the breaks were very soft and went straight to the bottom and didnt stop the car Found out that if I pumped the breaks the pressure came back and managed to stop the car. Returned straight away and they had not blead the breaks Spoke to a couple of the mechanics an older chap who just seemed to shrug it off but one of the young lads was fuming and trying to find out who worked on my car. I suggested that he should fix it and was absolutly fine within the hour. The funny part was they sent the admin girl out to appologise and tell me the car was ready and that the manager had said to give me a cleaning kit (rubbish bag with sponge and shampoo in it) for my inconvenience I suggested that they should be more worried about sending a car out that can quite easily end up in an accident. This was a shame they were friendly and got a good price but for their oversight on something so important I would have to think twice about recommending them!!!

Hi Welcome Looks very always wanted this colour but they stopped it with the later models After I first got mine I deceded quite quickly it is best not to look at the MPG guage all together otherwise I would be trying to get it up as high as I could and not enjoy the drive!!!

Needed to bring my service forward as I have to work away at the end of this week now and the Bromley dealer couldnt fit it in so have gone with motorline at dartford. Spoke to them on the phone and arranged a small discount from their original offer to £286 but when I got there this morning and spoke with the girl she said they discounted me from the incorrect amount and it was actually going to be £228 So far so good they were nice and gave me a lift home to carry on "working". Will post up in the good/bad serviceing from dealers section when completed, although I did notice that dartford already had a thumbs up

Thanks for you messages I do slightly agree and would certainly bring it to Abbey if it was out of warrenty period. Booked it into the HPC dealer in bromley at £280, thought I might be able to blag a test drive in a GTR as well

Nicely modded orange one in Bluewater carpark by the out door christmas part, looked

With it being a newish car does it not affect the warrenty or any future resale value if the car has not been taken to a main dealer?

Car is coming up for its 2nd service so a P2 (handy just before christmas!!!) Called round some local garages to both home and work for costs: Motorline Dartford £314 Beadles Maidstone £350.66 Hidsons (Rainham) £240.09 Quite a difference in price although beadles said they could beat another price I got from another garage, will have to test them on that one!!! Anyone had any experience in this area with the dealers? Any other I should try or avoid...

For anyone who is interested, close enough and can get out of work I just found out that Jenson Button is going to be at Bluewater this afternoon driving a super car in a marked out area round the back of bluewater from about 3 till 4.30 and then will be having a Q&A session after. More details on the bluewater website....

Thanks for the tip didnt even think about checking them out. Went onto their website and they have some stuff for cleaning and removing swirl marks so will give it ago...and as mentionned not too expensive Thanks again

Not been too much into detailing of my cars just wash them normally but been seeing a lot of nice jobs from the site and after spotting a few swirl marks on my car in the recent sun decided I need to get some products and get to work. My main questions is that the garage put on the supagard protection foc when I purchased the car do I just follow the procedures others use or is there anything else that needs to be done because of this?? Any help is much appreciated. thanks

Hi Welcome... Am new here myself got mine just over a month ago but you can quite easily get 2 sets of clubs in the boot although anything else not golf bag shaped is hard!!!

I recently got my 57 plate GT from a dealer with 5.5K on the clock under your budget with sat-nav and parking sensors. They also threw in tonneau cover, paint protection and gap insurance for nothing so its a good time to haggle with them...
