I've just found this on the Noble web site and I remember it being raised a couple of weeks ago. The page is dated 10th of May.

Sad in a way for the guys down South.

I would have thought it would have been a nice earner to keep Noble ticking over in the space between M400 and the M15 builds.

Dealers in what?

What you moaning about? there's a place in Moscow, how many other marques offer that degree of coverage?

Also interesting to see Noble are back with JNM for "Engine Mapping Issues".

There's a few independents not on Noble's list obviously. Maybe it's time for the owners to gather a list of others based honestly and frankly on experience (good or bad) for the benefit of all.

Obviously can't be done on PH though because of the naming and shaming policy...

I was refused servicing at the factory around 6 weeks ago when they stopped it all. I guess they don't want any prying eyes around!

Bit far from Aberdeen. LOL ! Pity they could not get one closer to Scotland but I guess Moscow is just fine.

Believe me Paul C, I am not moaning. We have have not had a dealer or approved service bay for about 2 years now! We are use to it.

In my experience thankfully we have sports car specialists that blow Noble dealer 'service' out the water.

I spoke to the factory last Thursday prior to this going on the website. They said that the decision on servicing was made so that the factory can concentrate the development of the new model. Once this is out of the way the decision to support servicing will be revisited.

This puts me in a dilemma as I have issues with my "local" dealer and Mole Valley is too far. I'm all for a list of independents around the country as you never know when you'll need one. I'm going to give the Offord Motor company a call this week so I'll see what they are like and add them to the list.

I'll put a list together in the FAQ on www.gto3.com

Just confirms Noble's attitude to Old customers, if your not buying an M whateveryoucallit then their not interested. They need to remember that exhisting customers buying the old product is what got them to where they are now and however much money Peter Dyson has a bad reputation is a bad reputation.

Whatever product they come up with next they won't get any more of my money.

Given the emotion/heat in the two issues I know of I don't think any kind of public forum would raise/or lower peoples' understanding in any kind of rational way.
If anyone wants to know privately then I suggest we create a thread entitled "I'd like to know about independents" and, if Ted agrees, people could e'mail memners to ask their opinon.

I guess it's OK for us to post good things about places we've used. I just remembered the "certain dealer in the northwest" thread that caused all manner of trouble !!

If Anthony makes a list on GTO3, maybe there could be a link by each one to a comments page

Well technically speaking aren't 1g the factory now? Bit of a drive I admit

Wonder if they've let go their technicians now that they haven't got any assembly to do etc. Would be a shame as they seemed by far the most competent at working on these cars, but its unlikely they need a full workforce to tweak with a prototype I suspect?

Really hope noble gets their new car out soon. It will be make or break time.

Totally recommend Plans Motorsport at Dunsfold Aerodrome. Brilliant service.
