Too bruddy hot to drive in Perth for last few days, so bit the bullet today and put the car and new motor onto the trailer and delivered it to the mechanic for the motor swap. drive

Annoyed that I can not do it myself as the shoulder is still giving grief but I want it done before the weather becomes perfect. spend

First time I have used this new garage, so I am fretting a little about the car sleeping over pale

So what happened if it was "being driven legally and sensibly"? Did all the electronic controls take over and force the car to commit suicide?

Perhaps..the car had been taken to the dealer because the owner thought all was not well with the tractin control system.....
If "the brain" applied a front brake to one wheel...... Time for sherlock

I suspect that if you hit the loud pedal suddenly, even at a legal speed, and there 'was a problem' with the traction control, 600bhp would take you off the road. The ECU will disclose the truth I imagine. Maybe the technician was testing it............

Oh, and spending £30k in four years maintaining it?
Really??

If three cars crashed on that stretch of road on that day and the police have confirmed that the car was being driven legally and sensibly, then possibly the road surface could be at fault.
