had to laugh at this too!

I had a similar answer last nit when I was explaing to the dealer about the back end being twitchy on the the Dooper!
Told him it could step out unexpectedly on roads that we drive every day,
-he asked what speed we were taking the corners at??

i told him the same speed we took them at on our OneD for 3.5 years, and the same speed I take them on several different BM's

Sorry to hear that it's giving you so much bother, but it definitely sounds like it's time to find a new dealer! Best of luck.

Tigger.

Actually technically they are right In US its usually 55 on most highways with only some being more and none being over 70 (I blieve and can stand corrected)

They are probably thinking along the lines of I cant be arsed so lets come up with something ... but in theory if the noise is at a speed above the legal limit then in theory you'll never have the fault and thus it need never be fixed

Brilliant when you think about it :P
