Thanks for the tips, will get them to check it out next time it is in. Thankfully coming towards Autumn the AC will be needed less and less! If the car didn't drive as well as it does it would've been sent back a long time ago!

So after initially being told it would take 2 weeks, 1 month later my car has returned from the dealer (mostly) fixed! The replacement wheel bearing, along with the replacement ABS sensor fitted in January has cured my traction control/ABS issue at long last! They also replaced both doors and...

Pretty bad photo, but the best I could find from old pics in my phone! You can just about see where the body colour ends and the plastic begins under the rear window

My car has always been stored outside, and I live in Scotland so it's never really hot but is very wet, hottest this year maybe been 24°c.

That's not quite the area I'm talking about. You can see the bit where it joins into the engine vent on the top of the boot lid, the other side of that. Where the water sits after it's been raining.

What colour and glass option is your car? My car is Magma with privacy, the courtesy car is DV with clear glass. Wondering if that makes a difference?

Just noticed something mildly interesting on the courtesy car. The boot lid is all body colour right under the glass to where it ends and goes into the engine bay. My car is only body colour up to just under the glass then becomes a black plastic the same as the underneath material of the boot...

Just spotted paint bubbling on the courtesy car's boot lid that I've got while mine is in to get the bubbling fixed! Not sure of the history of the other panels on the car or the build date but it was registered Sept 23.

Since my last post nothing has happened on the rejection front. I emailed the escalations team stating I want a new car or a refund and then it just so happens that the part I've been waiting 5 months for miraculously appears at the dealer two days later... Giving them one last chance, booked...

Noticed a bubble on the boot lid when washing the car this weekend. That makes driver door, passenger door, driver rear quarter panel, passenger rear quarter panel, and boot lid. Nearing 50% of my panels being affected now!

I think I have this issue too. Most obvious in 6th at around 70mph under acceleration. I think it is to do with the gear linkages as, at least with my noise, if I put pressure on the gear stick pushing it further into the gate the noise stops and then immediately restarts when I release. Unsure...

I think I'm about to start on the same journey you're on just now. Paint bubbling on both quarter panels now as well as driver door. Emailed the escalations team to complain and requested a replacement car or full refund. A day or so later the dealer called asking for pics of all the bubbling...

Definitely considering rejecting it, but not sure if I can since I've had it since Nov 22. If I can reject it for full refund then ideal, or exchange for a new one, or back to factory for rebuild. Any of those would be good options. But if I rejected it now and they gave me only a partial refund...
