According to Mike Baldwin, the factory service manager, it wasn't so much a batch of dampers as some, which had slightly bent rods, in fact he said it was only one car, which was probably Simmos.
I think that for peace of mind, and to eliminate the idea that the dampers could be at fault, it would be a good idea to have another pair of dampers to try, if the fault still persists, then we'll look elsewhere.
However, it seems that not all cars have the problem, and if they do some are worse than others, much worse. If the press had driven mine, they most certainly would have commented on the steering, it's that bad. There hasn't been one comment, so either they did all their motoring on smooth roads, or the cars they tried did not have the problem.
I want to try and drive a few different cars now, so that I can get a feel of what the others are like, before I go back to the factory for another set of dampers.
