Facking idiots.... Just a wee point mate - are you sure that they are doing all they can (independant of how nice Bill is to your face) when they don't know whether they actually have our fecking car or not???? :shock:

MMC have really disappointed me in the last 2 or 3 months with the variety of horror stories I've heard on and off here..... :(

Whoops - got a call and forgot to type a response!

Fair point - no idea how to go forward with this, but as I'm out of warranty just and all of this has been done FOC there's only so much i can say till we establish how screwed up this is...............here's hoping they can pull this one out of the fire.

Watch out track, when they cure this I'll be on a trackday frenzy!

Seeing as MMC are so obviously letting us down, over and over and over again(need head smacking against wall emoticon), maybe this will increase competition: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/lotus/defa ... ryId=13957

What with Formula One being much cheaper than MMC, another dealership between here and there might encourage them to extract a digit(although I wont hold my breath) :x :cry:

Oh they got a whole fist up there.... No, wait, that's what Ross was talking about on the 'moderation' thread, wasn't it?

Picked my car up this morning, still no closer to the real problem, will emulate Andy and clean the induction kit. Bill did admit that they didn't think it was the Induction unit either. Andy over to you for the next exiting episode. However i do now have a sparklingly clean car - neat way to get a free valeting every now and then.....

Took the throttle body off and food a good amount of kak (sludge) build up in it. Think its directly caused by the induction kit needing serviced!

Now need the LIM light reset to see if it worked.
