Hi Jules,

Firstly welcome to the forum  :happy2:

Not heard of anything like this or the fact they only offer 6 months warranty on items like the carpets  :confused:

Yeah this has happened in my mums GT Sport, she has only had it about a year  :surprised:

My mum does not give two sh*ts about cars so it wont get looked at, but if it was my car I would kick and scream until the problem got sorted and I got a little bit of compensation for my troubles  :angry015:
