I wish! They haven't rang, so looks like tomorrow for picking it up - which suits me as I want it back right. Then we'll probably go for a spin down to Tenby in the next 4 days or so to give her a good run - avoiding parking anywhere near the sea of course!!!

It's ridiculous. Akin to having to fit a Marigold washing up glove to Land Rover distributor caps :-D

Absolutely, couldn’t agree more that the end user is having to find inventive ways to circumvent the rust issue. And as I said before, I’ve never had a SR failure to date on any other car I have owned, new or old.

Glad it's sorted and back on the road for you.

Will be interested to see the condition of the old rack and if you take it any further with Citroen...

Haven't got it back yet Iain - picking it up this afternoon, then will take some pics before I get the exchange unit returned before they charge me for that!
