    Bloody hell Smoo, what a kick in the pants!

    I would just get it done, how can they say it’s dangerous when they haven’t recalled all their cars that still do it? My Alhambra opens/closes the rear sliding doors on the key fob/handle/door pillar/dash and the boot opens/closes on the key fob/boot lid/dash and I have never had a letter telling me not to use it because it’s dangerous, in fact I once stupidly jammed my hand in the boot as it was closing to save a picture frame that had slid down, whilst it did nip a bit what it did not do was crush my hand or chop it off, it just reversed about 8 inches and stopped, nobody died, nobody sued, no big deal.

    Just find a reasonable guy or gal to reprogramme the key fob and hopefully pay a reasonable amount and say nothing, if you don’t mention it again then neither the dealer or motability will ever even think about it again.

    My car has been in for fixing 6 times and is still not fixed yet because I have got sick of calling them, nobody has rung to try and get it sorted in 8 months now even though the last conversation with them was about appointing me a personal handler?(not sure about the title) to get a resolution, I missed the call and I just lost the will to bother after that but still no call back from them. Out of sight etc etc.

    Get it done and just wait to pop the bubbly this time. ?
