That means the dealer doesn't have to waste time diagnosing or trying to replicate the issue and is a guaranteed money earner.

Dealers hate having to waste time diagnosing as they lose potential money they can earn.

People still keep going on about Ford dealers being rubbish yet it happens everywhere. Fords being a bit more unreliable than the Japs probably makes things seem worse than they are.

Fair enough. So you work at a Mitsubishi dealership I take it?

If so, any issues with the MY14.5 Outlander Aspire diesel you can fore-warn me on please?

Still waiting for it to be delivered - the person that entered the colour into the system put a plain white one as 'starlight' so the colour I wanted is not available for at least another 2 weeks apparently...
