Re: Campaign SSM74031 X152 Under body brace corrosion

This is utterly bonkers - not sure what JLR are thinking here. Going public on an issue then just sweeping it under the carpet after a couple of months and pretending it never happened. Another reason Jag will never get a seat at the grown up table with the three German's. Very silly.

Re: Build quality

Disappointing to say the least. I tend to find clips for things like the rear diffuser are loose and just not made that well.

Re: Powered Bootlid

Not to my knowledge - closed mine manually a few times when the boot is full and I don't want the anti-trap to trip.

Re: Campaign SSM74031 X152 Under body brace corrosion

A quick update to my situation - rear braces replaced this morning, the work only took a few hours at my dealer of choice, they also serviced the rear diff at the same time. In summary, I am happy with the outcome. However having rust free rear x-braces does highlight just how horrible looking the r...

Re: Campaign SSM74031 X152 Under body brace corrosion

Bump: Anyone had theirs replaced yet? I'm still waiting for the parts to come in. I had a service and they actually held off changing the diff oil until they do this as they will be taking all the braces off to get access to the diff.
