Well worth the time and effort I bet.


Leaving aside the Antipodean humour, there is a very serious issue here. Namely, that MMC KNOW this is an issue ( anecdotal evidence in relation to cars serviced at the Factory makes it plain that many, many Roadsters come in with damage to sumps/ cross members), why aren't they doing something about it?
Having done a quick google search it seems that certain figures in the higher echelons at MMC are more concerned with the Gumball Rally than customer care issues.
OK, I'm ranting ( and many of you won't be at all surprised at that) but market share in the motor industry is a fragile thing and I have this awful feeling that MMC are dissipating many years build up very quickly!
Please feel free to disagree- I'm sure many of you will
Cheers,

PS I note Simon's comment that the Factory do 'look into' this site on occasion to see what current views are. Good- they might take note of them




G ---Well said!!!These are exactly my sentiments! I would really think twice before committing to a replacement roadster
purely on account of this blasted sump, which really takes the edge of open road driving---sometimes literally!
