First few hundred miles were spectacular fun. Then the passenger window stopped working. Reset didn't do it. Needed a new module. Car at dealers for a day. Two days later the bonnet open warning comes on whilst on motorway. Then the alarm sounded through the next morning randomly. Checked everything. Eventually stopped. Next day all fine. Day after, alarm going off for an hour. Now sitting in Birmingham (here for work) waiting for emergency services to come out... I'm losing a little faith if I'm honest... Hopefully these gremlins pass...but if not I may throw the keys back :-(

Thanks guys. Agree with all points. It's a truly spectacular car and sports+ is obscene. Plus, amazingly, both my teenage kids fit in the back. Emergency services arriving in a minute so fingers crossed.

Diagnosed: faulty bonnet latch. Car thinks it's open and alarm is set off. Getting picked up and taken into Birmingham AM in 90mins.

Tweeting AP so he's aware.

I hear ya. So far today the technician, collection and hire car situ has been seamless... But evidently that's not the main thing... I'll see what the end of this week brings. Hopefully it won't result in a return....

Absolutely. I'm certainly not going to abuse the link. Today has been a great example of how to handle things. I still love my 11.
