Car is now in with the dealer while I’m on holiday, will hopefully pick it up when I get back in 12 days time. Have asked for pictures of the process, so will post them up when I have them.

Unexpected Corrosion..
Just got off the phone with the dealer. They’ve found a perished vent on the inner face of the rear passenger wheel arch, which has allowed water to get in over a fairly long period of time. Upon removing the carpet, they’ve found the corrosion to have spread a little and had caused a lot of the cables and connectors in the rear to have corroded too. They’ve stripped the car out, and have done the metal work and are now waiting on the replacement cables and parts required to restore the car to an as new condition! Even get a new battery (which seemed to be on its last legs anyway) and all new seals which is a great result!
Won’t get the car back for another week or so as parts from the factory are due next week. Good result all round and 100 or so photos taken of the whole process. Very happy so far!

Picked up the car yesterday, and they’ve done a cracking job. Not an ounce of rust to be seen, and all new componentry in the back of the car! Looks brand new! Interestingly, despite a new battery, the car said ‘low battery, please start engine’ when I got it which seemed a little unusual.. might be another trip back, but the quality of work carried out is brilliant. Big thumbs up to Beadles Jaguar in Sidcup!

Good question! I don't know the details but I understand they plug a "transit device" in while the vehicle is being delivered, the dealer removes it and throws it away.
