They left an important piece of felt out of the sunshine roof, which caused it to rattle.
We are investigating the wind-screen leak, and we are providing a 22-gallon petrol tank as an alternative for Continental use, on the B.V.
If we find that most customers think as you do, we can standardise this capacity.
