    Starter motor foobard

    Forgot to post, sorted this out Monday night with a new starter motor. 50 quid off a scrapped 197. Would have preferred to put a new one on but I needed it on the road for work so had to get one on quick. Cheers for all the advice, let's hope the fuel pump isn't next.

    Recaro seat replacement under warrenty

    they are suggesting that because I didn't buy the car from new, there is a grey area as to where the damage has come from. I said it was totally irrelevant and a product of faulty parts. Will try the approach that other people get them done under warrenty, see where that gets me. The upright of...

    Recaro seat replacement under warrenty
