Re: Portimao

I've got one spare car parking space in Bristol city centre if you want it Red5. It's about a 15 minute walk then to the airport shuttle bus which I'll be taking.

Re: Is this reasonable?

In my opinion if you told them it was an electrical fault their first port of call in my mind would be the ECU, i'm not sure if it tells you whether there is a problem with the alarm or not. But you can normally get a fault code, if they did that and it didn't show anything then fine tear it apart....

Re: Is this reasonable?

to be fair, what did you tell the dealership was wrong with your bike in the first place,if they spent 4 hours working on your bike on your own diagnosis then in my eyes its only fair you pay the full labour if you told them it was one thing and they looked at something else then thats different I ...
