If you don't mind me asking... how much do RT want to replace it / will it come back with the Ariel branding still?
So this has taken an unexpected twist. RT told me that they couldn't repair it but were 'Happy to provide a replacement dash'.
I took this to mean 'at retail price'.
So I checked back with them and they said 'FOC'. Still pinching myself as although pi**ed off with the lack of waterproofing on the original, I thought asking for a free replacement of a nearly 5 y/o dash would be pushing my luck.
I also asked about the branding on the unit (for re-sale time) and was told it would be Ariel branded.
Can't quite believe my luck still, and will only really believe it when the dash turns up. But - hats off to RT. I'm not sure if their dash is still an option on the Atom 4? (and I really don't think Ariel are currently building any Nomads), and although I do think that the AIM dash is quite sexy, but if I was speccing a car today I really wouldn't have any reservations about going the DASH2 route given RT's commitment, and personally I am quite a fan of its layout and function.
