Thought I should point out, I have been involved with two RX-8s that have gone to Littlewick Green Mazda (they are aftersales-only for Mazda) for the fuel tank recall and both have been completed with absolutely no drama whatsoever so I will be happy to send my cars there again in future should any further recalls come out the woodwork.
