well, after much hair pulling (still got a fair bit left ) - tha car has gone in to get the wheels Powder Coated under warranty, as originally agreed
I'll pick it up on Saturday now
The dealers have given me a Nissan Note..............s'ok - plastics are a bit crap, engine is a 1.5 diesel........with no apparent torque at all - but bloody hell, its doing 66 to the gallon
