an amusing addition to this story now!rang the wife to go check the oil level. the conversation went something like this:me: open the bonnether: how?me: inside the drivers side there is a small lever along the right hand inside edge of the drivers footwellher: i am sat in the drivers seat and cant see anythingme: do you see the cubby hole down the right?her: yes!me: put your hand over it then slide forward and you will feel a little lever that you need to pull towards you.her: i cant feel anything! wait actualy i can feel something but it pulls down not towards me .......me: ok did you feel/hear a mechanical clunk?her: no all it does it move the steering wheel!me: thats the rake adjust in the center not the bonnet release!!! take another look for the bonnet release.her: wait ok i found it. now how do i open the bonnet?me: walk around the front of the car and it should have opened slightly. there should be a little hand hold to operate to open it fullyher: ok its open nowme: ok pull the dipstick outher: there is no dipstick but steve is here (a workmate)me: put steve on the phone! (getting irate now)steve was able to check the oil level and its about halfway so the oil warning light should not have come on saying oil min. but i told her she has enough to get her home tonight so i will take another look at the car when she gets back.she also said the remote central locking is not working now! GREAT!!!looks like i really did buy a LEMON!!!
