:doh Bloody idiots. This will cost them billions. A class action is already being put together by customers in the US, basically for misspelling. As VW have admitted it, that is a case already won, so as well as the loss in sales and the fines, they will have to pay the 500,000 customers money.

Hopefully, an industry~wide probe will ensure "no stone is left unturned" here in the UK.

:yeahthat:'s certainly a relief! :doh

Meanwhile, EU Member States are being advised to launch their own investigations.

Send them all to the R.P... we could do with a cheap, good quality upgrade.
