IIRC there is a recall for this...I forgot to mention, I also asked them to check my drivers chair as it had started to get a bit wobbly.

Apparently a visual check on the caliper bolts. Only a 5 minute job. Thanks to Picador for info.
Description : There is a slight chance that one or more of the tapped holes for the four bolts securing the two halves of the brake caliper body together, has not been threaded through the full depth of the hole. The structural integrity of any such caliper may be compromised with the risk of fatigue failure of the caliper occurring after an extended period.
Remedial Action : Check the caliper tapped holes. If any incomplete threading is found, the brake caliper is to be replaced.ÂÂ

Dreamer's had his driver's seat rails replaced/fixed under warranty at Bristol VX dealer - I saw the paperwork and it would've cost something like £250 (can't remember if that was inc VAT(IIRC there is a recall for this...I forgot to mention, I also asked them to check my drivers chair as it had started to get a bit wobbly.

Not strictly true,Everything is done on "book time" regardless of how much time it actually takes. Not robbing at all. That's the price. Many people will pay for it, and many won't. That's the way of the world.

Wise choice - I'm taking mine to Bayliss (Cheltenham) for the second service.
