New Vauxhall Vivaro van in 2001.
Arrived new with no wheel trims, they had all fallen off during delivery.
No "special" tool to take the wheels off in case of a puncture.
Wiper arm fell off after three weeks.
Windscreen seal fell off after three weeks.
Sat in van drinking coffee after four weeks, rested foot on the brake pedal
and it fell off. Brake pedal, not my foot.
The AA bloke said "owwwwwwwwwww".
I never trusted that van again.
