      Hi Mike, Hazel & Mike jnr

      Great news :):) Hope you are back on the road soon. Just in case your batteries have been damaged by all this they should replace them too. Hope they are OK though.

      Is Hazel any better and hope Mike jnr is OK.

      Love

      Hello Mike and Hazel and Mike JR.
      I feel so sorry for you.
      why dont you go on your local radio and tell them there might be a person listening who could help you. and the person you bought the scoota from might be listening.
      it's not right how you've been treated.
      good luck. joan xx

      Hi Mike

      Just caught up with your thread!

      Well, thanks but no thanks to the firm in England aye? You would think they would have a rep in Northern Ireland, wouldn't you? Ridiculous waiting until the guarantee runs out. What a load of cobblers! Well, you got the better of them, didn't you and fixed it yourself. Good on you!

      Watch out everyone, Mikes back on the road again! :D:D:D
      Great news,

      Luv

      The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

      If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

      Well Mike!!!
      They need YOU as an engineer!! :!: :!:
      You star!
      If I ever get one and it breaks down - I will send you a ticket to england straight away to come and fix it!!! It will be much less hassle in the long run :!: :!:
      I hope you are enjoying having your freedom back and that the sun is shining down on you as it is here
      Take care

      Hi joan and sis,

      I was able to go the grave of my mum and dad,missed that as I went every week . What a surrprise waited me when I got there for ,as I had asked for a ramp to enable me to get to my mums and dads grave as this was causing me great discomfort as the kerb leading upto it was very high, now I have I ramp ( dip in the path ) this is great now I can sit and look at the grave as standing was very painful, must phone the parks department up tomorrow and thank them.

      some people are so kind

      Glad to hear you are on the road again, The sale of goods act states that if a product is less than 6 months old and develops a fault then they have to by law either replace with a brand new item with the same specifications or repair it. Also if they cant repair it or give you a replacement they have to refund you. This is because the consumer act sugests that if a brand new product develops a fault and fails within the first 6 months of ownership then its classed as a manufacturing defect.

      Hope this helps anyone who may have a problem with any item they hae bought and feel they are getting the run around by manufactureres etc.

      Just mention to them you have been intouch with consumer direct and you will find 9 times out of ten they will be very willing to sort the problem out :wink:

      We are so pleased you can get out and about again thank's to you cleaning it. i'm pleased you went to see the grave what a surprize you had how kind of them to do it for you.
      had you thought of having your scoota serviced once a year they find any fault and fix it before it get's any worse.
      enjoy your journey's joan xx
