smartmove Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Doesnt sound too good mate, will see what I can find out about the recall I've email them this evening asking for specific details on the recall as my imagination is now running wild. I have nasty images of my "brand new" car in the bodyshop or something even worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 You'll soon know if it's that. Should be easy enough to spot. It probably is a recall. Perhaps when you finally have the car, nail them and find out what said "recall" was for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Better they do any recall now before you pick it up and have to bring it sttraight back, the dealer shouldn't have told you you were going to be getting it early, typical shoddy Nissan service...........

smartmove Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 The recall is for new wheel nuts. Apparently Nissan have changed the nuts on the 2010 model and my car is held at the Nissan import centre while these new type nuts arrive. The dealer has said that Nissan sales are happy to call me to confirm so I am happy this is legit and not an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that includes the locking nuts - replacement wheel costs are very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartmove Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Woo! The dealer just called and the car has now arrived! The issue was indeed locking wheel nuts (or lack of) but all has now been sorted and it will be ready for me to pick up on Friday afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartmove Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just spent most of the afternoon trying to get the Aviva free 7 day insurance thing sorted with there Indian call-centre but they really are the most useless bunch of idiots I have had to deal with. Long story short they will not insure the car as they cannot be competitive on an annual quotation so dont want to give me 7 days free. Got my own insurance company direct line sending through the docs to the dealer but as thats by post its not a sure thing that it will arrive with them by Friday so may have to get the car on Monday instead One thing is for sure I will never be trying to use Aviva for any insurance products again.

Why not use Chris Knott, they were easy to deal with and no problem covering mods and for a litle over £400 for the full protected package, competively priced too And the club benefits by business from members on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartmove Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yes, I'll give them a try as soon as my policy becomes due (only a month or so to go). I only tried Aviva for the 7 day thing as they email the dealer directly the cover note so they can tax the vehicle. If the cover note from my current insurer doesn't get to them on Friday then they can't tax it and I can't pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Doh beat me to it! Will a fax of a cover note not do? I'm sure I did that when I got my Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Normally the insurer will send a cover note to the garage direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Normally the insurer will send a cover note to the garage direct Yeah he said its going direct, but I guess having informed the insurer today, it might not make it by Friday. I still think you can get the insurer to fax it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartmove Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Unfortunately it's against Directline policy to send policy and/or certificates via fax I have to admit for a fraction of a second today when I had been on the phone to Aviva for about an hour I considered forgetting the whole car buying thing! Soon snapped out of that idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wudster Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thats strange I picked up my car last Thursday and the dealer didnt ask me for any insurance details, I just phoned my insurance company and they swapped my details over.. Car picked up, fully taxed for 12 months and driven away... Oh happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh happy days Was that a new car? And are you the first registered owner? If the car is registered to the garage they can tax it, but for a new car to be you as the first owner, they have to have insurance in your name I beleive Sucks a bit that insurance wont fax out a cover note, theres so many instances that you need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartmove Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 I couldn't resist and popped over to the dealer today for a sneak peak. Car still had all the packaging on but looked awesome! Can't wait to get it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartmove Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 PS. Just to ruffle a few feathers but I couldn't help noticing how "old" my 350 looked parked near the 370, I hadn't seen the 2 cars alongside each other in the flesh before, only on the internet. I still love my 350 but am definetely making the right move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
