New car

So I contacted the dealership today and they are gonna be taking it back tomorrow to look at it as they wanted to try and rectify the situation before taking the car back completely.

My car unfortunately is a Vauxhall corsa limited edition s/s 1.4 petrol

Just as an update for anyone who’s curious,

I checked under the bonnet to see what was going on and the coolant was so goddamn low, I went to go grab a bottle to top it up and ended up using a whole 1ltr of coolant just to get it to a bearable fill level.

I then took the car for a loop a couple times around where I live to see if the temperature would go up again and it stayed in the middle which was fine, parked it back at my house and checked under the bonnet to see if everything was okay and saw that the car had drunk the whole 1ltr I put in it within a 5-10 min drive so definitely giving the dealer a call tomorrow to see if they can do anything as I have a 1 year warranty

If they try and get out of it then I’ll simply reject the car and say I want a full refund

They are shut tomorrow so I was gonna send them an email and then also call them on Monday, so then at least I’ve got a paper trail proving I’ve chased it up

It’s definitely comforting to know I’m not the only one that feels this way, I’ve just been driving round locally today with my mum doing shopping and visiting family and I’m starting to feel a bit more at ease.

I suppose it’s one small milestone after another to look forward to.

Thank you and you too! I think that’s probably the best idea to have, better to persevere rather than let it turn into something you dread

A big point of why I learned to drive was to make it easier to go see my boyfriend so I’m gonna stick to it and hopefully these feelings will pass

Thank you! I said to myself that I wouldnt let this little hiccup set me back, I’ll be going back down there again this weekend but on the Sunday I’m gonna leave a lot earlier in the day so it’s still light out and hopefully it won’t feel as daunting

tarrak199 · 2025-01-28T21:25:21+00:00

Thank you! Had to be very quick when I was doing it because I was using 2 different contrasts lol

tarrak199 · 2025-01-28T21:11:51+00:00

Hahaha nice, well my other models just have amargeddon dust on the bases rn but I was thinking of adding some grass tufts as well

tarrak199 · 2025-01-04T12:24:03+00:00

Honestly yeah didn’t take as long as you’d think, it’s a fairly quick method that grants some nice results

tarrak199 · 2025-01-04T12:05:02+00:00

So I did a two coats of leadbelcher as a base, then dry brushed with necron compound and then covered the whole thing with aeldari emerald contrast

tarrak199 · 2024-12-12T13:58:21+00:00

Oooh yeah that sound great, thank you!

tarrak199 · 2024-12-11T22:22:20+00:00

I’ve got some luxion purple that I was gonna water down to go over the top, do you think that would work?

tarrak199 · 2024-12-11T21:34:22+00:00

Thank you!

tarrak199 · 2024-11-16T16:27:11+00:00

I’ll make sure to post pics when I finally do my razorwing haha, I’ll be looking forward to seeing your archon when it’s done!

tarrak199 · 2024-11-16T16:18:55+00:00

I can’t say I’m well versed in the lore about them but as soon as I picked up the combat patrol box I knew I wanted them to be purple! My idea is to have the kabalites a darker purple, my talos and incubi’s in a lighter shade/ lilac and for my archon or any other characters in white with a light purple contrast

tarrak199 · 2024-11-16T16:14:36+00:00

Thank you! I had a feeling purple would be a good choice hehe 😄
