Firstly stop shouting......
Secondly it cannot be corrosion the clue is in the word aluminium.
I understand Jaguar are aware of the problem & have been repainting cars where necessary

Aluminum will corrode it that's we refrain from using it in certain offshore applications. The obvious problem is a paint system break down which should prevent the Aluminum reacting with surrounding athmosphere.Also I suspect there is a preparation issue with the substrate. However I deliberately kept the question simple.

Good news is that Jaguar are aware and are repainting, must be honest the response he's had up to now hasn't been that good from Jaguar Customer service.

I was simply wondering if any body else had any better success.

PS I've turned the volume down
