If it's under warranty doesn't it just get put right by the dealer, who lends you a courtesy car while they're doing the work?

I can but the point is that just as it's hard not to chew a fruit pastille it's also almost impossible not to drive the vRS without booting it

Not good. Hopefully they'll sort it quickly. I drive pretty briskly once it's all warmed up as it should be. Don't know whether to peg back or not now and save it or Castle Combe

Sorry about your car mate, hope it's all sorted out properly.

The maxidot message made me laugh though. WORKSHOP ! As if you didn't know ! :notme:

If only it shout "VERKSHOP" in an arnie schwatzaname style accent then it would be perfect :)

What worries me is your car has done over 16,000 miles and you've described an every day situation for most of us. Error message as well as all 4 cylinders failing sounds worse.

Hope it gets fixed mate. Keep us posted.

well guys the news isn't good the dealers have been on the phone 3 or 4 times. the car has got a major engine failure i have a miss fire across the engine and the spark plugs in number 2 and 4 have been destroyed to the point off ware, the bottom off the sparks have blown in to the engine. which is to the point the engine is dead as the dodo, they tried telling they were going to just replace the sparks. i have told them not a chance and i will reject the car on that basis..

i am off to have a strong drink :(

what on earth causes a failure like that? i don't think i have ever heard of such an issue.

Totally right on rejecting any repair made that does not include a new engine in my opinion. i assume the engine still turned following the catastrophic failure mashing the broken spark plug all around the combustion chamber.

I was thinking of upgrading to a mark 2 fab vRS.

No so sure now, but I hope you get it sorted.
