Firstly if you instructed someone to look at it then its not strictly independant

Who is the expert?

If he is a TRUE expert pop down to CAB and they will advise the way forward

Well then it looks like you need to push this further.

Try CAB or if you have legal assitance on your home ins policy give them a call

have heard of this on other imprezas. do a search on here and see what the others have done.

how comes these would show up now though rather than when you picked the car up from the dealers?
