That would make sense as mine was in the garage for this in late August 2016 - I could have said that at the start!

Manufactured in March 2016. This only happened the once, thankfully, but came swiftly after a handbrake issue one week into ownership. I guess these things happen with early examples of new models, and the car is great now.

I've just checked the invoice for this, and it's vague to say the least...I never pressed for details at the time as I'd had enough of them by that point and was just happy that the car appeared to be running fine.

Yeah correct on the car. I'm on holiday just now but I'll try to remember to look out the paper work when I get back. To be honest, I remember thinking that "software update" was getting tossed out by them when they couldn't actually find the fault - I didn't note anyone else on here having the...
