My mate had her front end scratched on her saxo by the AA, contact them and complain, get some quotes which they will ask you about and get them to sort it! | |

How can a piston melt on an engine like that? Did it have a turbocharger running at 30psi attached to it at the time? :lol: | |

claim off AA for the damage to the bumper they cant damage your car, if it wouldnt go on they shouldnt of taking it, or looked at taking the bumper off first | |
