Hey all, this is a great section and I thought I would post up a list of the bodywork faults that my new Nitro came with - just to see if any of you had similiar experiences?
The list is from the indedendent engineers inspection that we had conducted on our Nitro. The dealer (Philip Wilks in Durham, UK) has said that he'll repair the Nitro but I want a replacement vehicle instead. The dealer is really not interested in after sales care and does not answer any calls. If you're in the Uk then stay away from these guys! Just as a footnote but even the Nitro in the Philip Wilks showroom has a 12-inch gouge out of the rear bumper - great dealer eh!
Surely, you don't buy a new vehicle for it to warrant an immediate full respray:i_rolleyes: - Am I mad or does a replacement vehicle seem fair to you guys?
Best wishes to all,
Andrew
