Made the mistake of taking our car to YWR with a number plate warning light. Was were advised to have the water pump and cam belt changed whilst there which we did. Very next morning we had an oil pressure warning light appear and for weeks after that YWR tried different things but had no clue what to do (they told me to keep driving it as it was probably a sensor issue). Eventually they replaced the Oil Pump at around 1,000 which stopped the warning light issue. I was offered to inspect the part when collecting the vehicle to demonstrate this was wear and tear but surprisingly when I collected

Lovely when you buy the car but had problem with the car and are not willing to actually fault find the problem. And now the car been to the garage twice and still not fix. My car wasn't even looked at. They have spoken to my pregnant partner disgustingly not only on the phone but in the store. To top it of want to charge us for a hire car when we have already paid for it through the hire company and threatened us with a letter !
