Legal options on gas tank recall



Yep...the H&R suspension addition had prompted an adjustment at the rear in
which I cannot do until this leak is dealt with...and I think the only way
to stop a leak like this effectively is to replace the tank....and it just
seems like a real daunting task...this Scirocco has cost me a bloody fortune
so far and there seems to be no end in sight.  :o(
