need the code for the suspension system. it may have blown a bag from being up on the lift. did you return to the guy who repaired it to re check his work??

i didnt have a code or anything as my car is only a ford ka 2001 model, but i took it to them for inspection for a problem and they said all is well apart from the front suspension arm/bushes need replacing , they didntt say the back were in bad condition or comment on the back , i dorve it home after the repair only a 1min drive and next day the back suspension is resting on the wheels , i phoned them and they told me they would contact head office at 11.30 and they said they would phone me back which they never did , i would like to know if they are obliged to correct the problem and or refund the payment as the problem has been made worse, any help you give is really appreciated as i really need it. thank you for your reply,

tey are not responsible if it is something they did not break. no refund if there bushing repair is good.
