Ok sorry for being so slow but I'm in Greece untill weds now.

It's a long list of silly bits mostly seat controls that don't work etc.

The biggest prob is failed vanos on one back it's very noisy and causes a miss when cold as well as smoking.

Iv spoke to a few people it could be seals or a replacement unit. I'll get it off next week and see

Pics to follow when I get home.
