I just read the Peter Galilee column in the latest LRO, where he says his car CAUGHT FIRE in the petrol station and everybody just carried on filling up their cars and ignored it, including the staff!

I'd have been wading in there with a fire extinguisher and yelling my head off.  What are these people like?

Have the people who did the work sorted out the problem yet?  You'd like to think they'd have checked it before they gave it back to you.

They closed after i picked my car up, so no one there when i rang, and they do not have a mobile number.

They were recommended to me by the RAC !!

Saga Continues..............................Marine Auto Electrics [ ipswich ]

Picked the jeep up and went to fill up and petrol poured out on the forecourt !
RAC came and connected the hoses back.

Now Jeep will not start, called the RAC and the new ? fuel pump not working !
So now got trading standards involved !

Please avoid them at all costs - of a scale of 10, they are 10 for incompetence.

I'm not sure if the fuel pump / sender unit is the same as a cherokee (I think it is - they look the same model).

If so I have one for sale ;)
