Today I had my smashed up door mirror puddle lights replaced under warranty on my Clubsport.

Of course, nothing ever goes to plan though does it. I've just noticed they put "R" logo puddle lights into my mirrors! I guess they'll compliment the "R" logos on my Estoril wheels  :grin:

I had also asked them (again) to investigate my creaky front suspension. They've "greased something" again, I expect it probably isn't resolved either and I'll end up going back again, as they said if this doesn't resolve it, they'll try replacing the top mounts.... might get the correct puddle lights then too sure.

Painful.

My dealer replaced the dust covers also on shocks when they regreased it seems to have worked so far, probably start clearing soon now I have said that😄

Not something i have done to my Clubby today, but what a few days, thursday night a family member unfortunately had a stroke, called an ambulance and 9 hour wait  :sick:.... so can you make it to the hospital quick was the question, Closest one here is 30 miles away on B roads, well the Clubsport did the job superb... Got there in no time , and then i spent the next 22 hours living in the car as i waited in the carpark for news etc, certainly bonded with this one!!

Wow, that’s quite the adventure.
I hope a) your relative makes a good recovery and b ) you’ve made it into some clean underwear.
