[SuffolkChris]

Got a month old LCR , exhaust started blowing somewhere near the manifold tonight to dark to see where exactly

is this a common problem with the LCR ?

downpipe to turbo has been known to go.... is the car in warrantee?

 

[SuffolkChris]

i should say so it's only 5 weeks old ............

 

[m0rk]

go moan, sounds like a gasket has failled... or something has a crack in it from new that's got 'bad' when you have got it warm

 

[SuffolkChris]

i will be there tomorrow morning giving it a good moan

I think it may be the heat shield around the Cat. Mine went when my car was only 3 months old. It makes an awful racket!

 

[SuffolkChris]

was it replaced under warrantee ?

 

[keithrann]

Too right! No quibble what so ever! Got a courtesy car while they undertook the work!

 

[SuffolkChris]

thing that pee's me off is they had it back on friday to change a couple of badges and sort a couple of other bits

 

[keithrann]

I know what you mean!

Its a proper pain having to go back to the dealers all the time with problems!

Mine is going in this friday to get the horn fixed!

I know its abit off topic but when you say you needed the badges replacing, do you mean the exterior R badges, as mine have corroded?

Cheers

 

[SuffolkChris]

Yes mate changed most of them.....................

also got to go back and have a couple of paint work bits done .................

 

[keithrann]

Think i'll mention to get mine changed also!

Cheers
