The smoke is far far worse now. Smoke (lots of it) when pulling away and most low gear changes. The local stealer has finally given me a date to take it in...

Not good news and worth dropping a note to LRCS if the dealer is stumped.

Help!

The car has been in for 2 days and all I've been told is that they are going to flush the intercooler? How will this fix an oil leak or will a leak be fixed after? I'm beginning to think the stealer is clueless

Help

Well, the disco has been at the stealers for four full days, all they've done is flush the intercooler, they were going to give it back to me until I asked how they were going to fix the oil leak xxxxing clueless

Loosing patience fast
