pretty poor all round

Should be "a million apologies sir, please take my ST home for a few days while we sort your problem then give the car a full valet and drop it back to you."

Thats a real shocker.

My ST has been absolutely perfect.

20000 miles on the clock.

Only needed a set of brake pads due to my driving style


Clarkson did say in his review on Top Gear that PAS was "just something waiting to go wrong"

Will get mine up in the air and check my pipes - Just in case
