Had a minor surprise last night when I got home to find a letter from DVSA advising me of a recall on my 2006 Mazda 6 - potential airbag fault causing over inflation of the bag in the event of a collision. Nice to know they still care after 11 years.
Am I right in thinking airbags "should" be replaced after 10 years anyway? Maybe this is a minor stoke of luck and I'm getting something done for nowt which I should have been doing anyway.
It will be odd going to a main dealer. Haven't visited one in donkey's years. |

Remember to polish your shoes before and doff your cap when you get there. 😉

I fear new car aroma. It's like walking past a bakery.

Just booked it in for a couple of weeks time.
"Have we seen the car before, sir?"
"No."
"Oh. So it's never been to us before?"
"No."
"Well it'll take a little while to set up all the details on the system."
"The system which managed to know I owned the car and where I live? OK."
"So has it been serviced recently?"
"Yes. By me. You don't want to hear about the oil filter seal, a dreadful screeching hissing noise, 3 litres of brand new 5w-40 and my block paved driveway. Just book the recall job please."
"Certainly, Sir."
Nice try.

Airbags used to be rated to last ten years. Just as my Volvo was coming up to ten years old, Volvo at least changed that to 15.
