Looking at the rear box the metal is highly corroded to the stage where the metal is coming away from the seams in layers, not surprisingly this is the roadwheel side where the metal is peeling away from so i think a small desgin flaw allows any water from the wheel well or wheel to be dumped straight onto said section of exhaust... Also the pipe section upto the cat is rusted as hell and i dont think it will pass its 1st MOT on this...
Could i claim this under warranty as the car is still under its 3 year warranty??
Also noticed that gearchange sounds like there is no lubrication in the mechanism though im not sure what to check as its a sensodrive model....
The info display in the dash console randomly doesnt fire up as well, sometimes requiring engine off - key out - key in -start up again to work.
The engine is hunting a lot, im convinced this is a dirty ICV or clogged one but still wouldnt think something so new would need cleaning out on a fully cit serviced car??
Also the rear support tray for the spare wheel has started to rust thru again and the rear arms are looking quite unhealthy as well. now last time they said the arms just had surface rust and they replaced the wheel carrier for me and apparently primered it up so i guess thats another thing that they need to have re-done
And the final cake in the coffin, it needs the suspension cup mod, can anyone with a parts website logon show me what part they actually replace as ive been told its a 2hour job?
Anyone any advice on the warranty claims as well or should i say issues above that i want to claim under warranty for a 2year old car??
Ta,
Will
