Hi, I mentioned here that I was unsure about the wear on the leather on my driver's seat:
Well, I emailed the picture to my deal yesterday & they called me today to say to bring the car in Wednesday or Thursday & they would sort out not only the driver's seat, but the passenger's seat too. Fiat UK have agreed to have both done, just in case.
I think it may be a known issue surfacing, as they seem to have a modification ready & said other people have mentioned the same problem to them. Also, doing the passenger side too (which is fine at the moment) suggests that they think it might also develop a problem.
Anyway, top marks to Essex Auto Group for sorting it out so quickly & easily. It gets dropped of Wednesday night & I get it back Thursday. I also get loaned a little Kia while it's in.
If your leather looks like this (some pictures I've seen on here suggest other seats are like this) I would suggest talking to your dealer too.
