    Well. The Coutryman has been recalled due to an issue with damp getting into the power steering which may cause the unit to catch fire "even when parked"...nice.

    Letter said Diesel Countrymans but I can't remember if it makes any reference to just being SD or not. Don't think it did. Think it's all D's.

    Why would the power steering be any different in a D compared to a petrol model? Weird.
