I've just rung the helpline to just check the dates on this as mine's a 53, but wanted to be sure - better safe than sorry.

I was asked my registration number (which doesn't show up on their system, so probably ok). Was told it is a pre 02 problem but he wanted to check the car wasn't built before then. More than likely not as a CC, especially as my reg no. not showing, but was told I should ring back with chassis no. or I could just wait for a few months to see if a letter arrived. A few months - I think not

Either of yours later than 02?

Nope April 01....just ring the dealer and give them your reg number....they'll soon tell you

Nah, "Y" reg..

Early "02" 's could be included, depending on final build date..
The only way of confirming that is call the helpline 0845 60 206 206 & quote the Last 8 digits of Ur VIN number or call Ur dealer...

Now that's what I call speedy replies

Gonna call the helpline again tomorrow with the chassis no. Think i'm probably ok though, but better to be sure.

Chadd, Don't worry they have over Qtr of a million cars to modify!

On a serious note the dealer network is under instruction to carry out the modifications to any car that is affected at anytime in the future..
