Many thanks for this and all your info posts folks, I spoke again with Derby today, trusting them with the car as they have undertaken several of these replacements already, and asked them to qualify what constitutes corrosion under the normal warranty as the SSM stated exactly this. They very kindl...

Gents after my outing today I noticed a loose lead hanging from under the car at the rear on the O/S drivers side above the silencer (V8R) It looks like it comes from the boot via a grommet on the drivers side. I took a photo with my hand under the rear bumper holding my phone but it’s not that clea...

Yep i should have actioned this when I bought the car earlier in the year. I still don’t understand what constitutes a claim under the normal warranty for corrosion and why it can’t be done under that route?

Guys I forgot to mention does the SSM state the level of corrosion required prior to replacement, does it have to penetrate the frames or just be evident as red rust.

Took mine in today to Jaguar Derby, waste of time, the technician said it’s not corroded enough to warrant a replacement! I despair on a less than 2 year old car with £15K on clock i dont expect to see any red rust corrosion albeit light? I’m visiting my supplying dealer on Friday for it’s complimen...

That’s great, many thanks I’ll call them today and see how I get on. Can I ask did yours get inspected whilst the SSM bulletin was still active ?

Guys do any of you have the dealer contact / service managers details at Derby if you could please PM me, it’s only an hr and half away from me so it’s worth a shot. Stockport dealership not interested in pursuing this after the SSM bulletin was pulled, they will not be getting my servicing business...

That’s promising news, could you please pm me your dealer details incase I get any resistance from my purchasing dealer. Picking car up tomorrow from the Stockport JLR franchise, they have been less than cooperative and seem to concentrate on the Range Rover Trade. My purchasing dealer has been advi...

Well as it happens I did ask the purchase dealer to take some photos in Jan when I bought the car with the intent to chase the bulletin claim up at a later date. Since then the campaign has ceased. I’m going to see where we go from here, it’s poor for Jaguar to close off this campaign, especially af...

Gents for info the bulletin has indeed now been closed off the Jaguar system as advised by my service department in my local dealer. Although it’s minor corrosion I’m not a happy bunny and don’t expect this with an 18 month old car! Will try and see if I can get anywhere with my purchase dealer. :oo...
