ROTTEN LEATHER?!

MORRRRRNING all! Oh what a surprise, something else wrong with my Cinq!

Started him up this morning, went to select first, and the gear knob felt all gooey; after about five minutes of driving, my left hand was black and had bits of rolled up leather all over it, and the same was happening with the steering wheel! Has my leather become rotten over night?!? What can i do to protect it??

Cinq Newbie!

Similar thing happens to mine too. I don't think it's anything to worry about, and yeah it only happens if it's been a really cold night and you go to drive it in the morning.

It's a good excuse to make myself broke and go buy a lello punto!

After the catalogue of problems i've had in the last two months:

New exhaust
Dad knocking front bumper
Dodgy indicator electrics
Wheel Bearing
Knocking Suspension
Peeling Laquer
Knackered clutch
Skanky leather trim
Some twonk driving into me in the car park

and on a car thats only done 56k, i think i'm gonna give up! This car is totaly jinxed! [V] (My love is unreturned.)
