Recieved my letter today, rang the nearest service centre and they had not even heard of this recall.

Just got my letter today as well, car booked in for the 2nd, haven't had any of the problems apart from the dash going blank the first day I had it, but it has never done it since and it was only a 30 second glitch, still better safe than sorry

It takes 2.5-3 hours to complete. Worst fault I've seen because of it was the cruise control not working.

We've been doing them automatically as time permits, a bit hard to do if it's only in for a minor service and the customer doesn't want to wait.

Mikey61 I'd love to knwow which service center hasn't heard about them considering it's on the VIN printout attached to each RO.

I had it done already because my exhaust filter had issues and they could do it at the same time.

QUOTE]

Had problems with my crusie control..When the + was held down to increase speed it cancelled the Cruise Control completely..When it cancelled have to stop and turn off and restart...Pain in the butt..Only way was to increase speed was click one 1km at a time...Another thing I found was that in reverse the diesel needs some pedal to start moving and suddenly there is a surge and it reverses at alarming speed....Very hard to get a smooth slow crawl backwards...bit scary especially when towing a trailer or backing out of a car park or backwards up a slope.....Question: Is the reverse gearing on the 8spd gearbox too tall or is it just turbo lag??..The N58 reflash appears to have fixed the Cruise Control though.
