Right,
So my girlfriend owns a 2010 golf that was due a service.
She took it to be serviced and to get a fresh mot, then took it back to where we park it.
Yesterday we got in the car and began a journey to Wiltshire from Dalston, by the time we had gotten to Essex Road the oil light had come on and a loud warning beep occured, by the time we got to angel station it happened again and then when we were in traffic on Pentonville Road I noticed smoke coming from the bonnet (oil on the manifold) so we pulled over and I had a look - oil everywhere!
Called my breakdown recovery and went to the pub to wait and to eat.
Turns out the garage had failed to remove the old rubber/gasket when installing a new oil filter.
Also the car still tells you upon startup that it's due a service.
I intend on going and having words with the garage later this week.
Advice/thoughts?
