Put it in the car and drive to Huntingdon, these guys don't bite and have solved many problems for many customers in the past.

Meridian Customer Service is now at level not seen for some years.

Be sure to contact M and explain the problem in as much detail as possible before travelling and get a service ticket number (maybe through your dealer).

Surely this is the best option
