On Monday last I was coming home from a Motor Club meeting and as the car had only being doing local runs for the whole of the previous week decided to use full acceleration down the motorway slip road to give it " a blow through". got up to quite a high speed when it cuts back and message appears on the screen "reduced engine power". Motored home and as it was near midnight left it until the next morning when same message appeared on start up. Rang LRA and informed them of the problem. They stated they would organise someone to attend within 2 hours. I asked if this would be an AA man and the response was would you rather have a Technician because it could take up to 3 hours to organise this. I said I could wait and within 2 hours a very smartly presented and polite Technician appears in Disco 3 with all the kit. Computer revealed that there was a fault so guy checks all the Service Bulletins and finds one that only applies to FL2 Autos. Engine power reduced if air temperature less than-2 degrees. 10 minutes later car reprogrammed and problem solved. Point of post. If it is only a wheel change for "her indoors" let the AA man come but if you think it really needs specialist attention ask for and wait for "the man in the Disco" who as Carnock says "cannot be faulted".

So am I right to assume the LR technical will call if needed but for the simple stuff the AA are called?

The straight answer is yes, but if you think you need the Technician ASK FOR HIM. Bill Turner. Life Honorary Member of Wallasey Motor Club. Licenced MSA Radio Operator for 35+ years. Rallying is the only sport. |
