On the subject of servicing . . .

I called Meridien Majestic in Bournemouth (Click here for their site: http://majestic.meridien.co.uk/) today - my Crossfire needs it's first service and there are a couple of other things I want looked at too (I'll list them in a moment to "share the knowledge").

After giving the receptionist my reg details, she tapped it in to her computer and it came up that my car was a Jeep Cherokee . . . hmm - let's get on the Chrysler Customer Service carousel again, huh?! Anyway, once that was ironed out . . . I was quoted £197 for the service which includes all consumables. After noting the prices quoted on this thread, I reckon that's relatively cheap! If there's any advance on the prices, I'll let you know.

Here are the other problems I want looked at. If you have any experience of these, I'd like to hear about it, please!

1. Coolant light. Comes on intermittently (see my other post) although coolant is topped up. She also very nearly overheated on a trip "oop norf" over the Easter break. (I should point out here that the lass on the phone said that they will "just turn the light off" when I take it in - not really the answer I was looking for!)

2. Oil on the engine block. Seems to be coming from the head gasket - something I would expect to see on a 5+ year old car, not one which is just 1 year old.

3. Noisy AirCon. Occasionally hear a bit of a "graunch" when the AirCon is on - only noticed it recently with the warmer weather we've been having.

I'll let you know of the outcome to these after the service (18 Apr).

Regards,
