Thank you so much , that is really helpful. The garage where I bought it (main Fiat / Volvo dealership) , said they had a look and have now booked it in to BMW for Wednesday and will give me a Fiat 500 to raz round in ! Will let you know....... Going to get the to look at : ariel - not great reception , 2 x powerpoints (cig lighter) not working ( think fuse has gone ) and hand brake. Amazes me when they say they do the "100 point" checks on used cars ! Anyone know anything on the Diamondbrite high gloss skin and upholstery protection ?? Said would do it for £99 and guarantee it for life ?? Thank You :)
