£194.25 Discount( Not an add, Topic about Main Dealer)

Forum: 

What do you do when the old F75 lets you down, phone work for starters (NOT A PUN)"My starter motors packed up and I won't be in today"..Next if you're able remove the offending component and with knuckles bleeding, strip it down, liberally apply DW40(It worked for me last time?)re-fit still no go!! Remove..re-fit..remove..re-fit..you've been there, I
know!!! Outa my hands now..'Google's my only hope? Two scrappers in Birmingham..next day delivery £150+ blahdy..blah!!
Inflate the mountain bikes flat tyres..Gees I'll never make the 10 miles to work on this?? What are my options? Main Dealers prices..Service exchange? Who does 'Sevice Exchange' these days??
Let me cut this story short..after phoning auto electrical dealers locally..being quoted ridicullous prices..I bit the bullet and phoned my 'Main Dealer'..without going into the technicalities(9 teeth/11 teeth)the guy offered me a brand new replacement for £100..because "It had been on the shelf a long time" I have the receipt here and it states '£194.25' discount..What more can I say!!!!
