Dropped the car off at the dealers this morning, the drivers seat is finally being stripped down and assessed for the knocking and movement when braking, accelerating etc.
The clicking from behind the steering wheel is being looked at also and I was told last time it might need a new rotary switch. Not sure what that is :roll:
There's a thud/knock which you can feel when moving steering wheel left to right when stationary and very slow speeds, not noticeable when moving. Steering has felt a bit vague recently.
Fortunately for once, I was able to replicate/demonstrate the noises to a mechanic and he admitted there's something wrong with a component in the steering assembly. When he drove it slowly and when moving the wheel parked up he commented on the knock you could physically feel through the floor.
I don't think the seat is covered under the extended warranty (nothing really ever is), but RUK have been excellent as always and last week they have already offered to pay 50% towards any repairs, as well as 50% of the diagnostic/labour charges. Obviously I'll be asking for more as 24,000miles it shouldn't need a new seat frame. They quoted an hour would be what I would be charged for the diagnostics but they've had it all day.
For once though I'm not bothered, the car has been excellent now all the little niggles have been sorted out: water pump, engine mounts, coil pack, lower ball joints :lol:
Just want the seat sorting and it'll be back to perfect.
I just need the arm rest to turn up from germany.
I'd like to plug this OBDii unit that was delivered today and play around with torque pro
