<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Are all the stamps up to date in the bodywork section of the service book?
This is often carried out as an addition to a regular service and not done unless you ask for it!
Yes, the body checks are all stamped up correctly so that shouldn't be a problem.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Will not be covered, as it is not perforated (got a hole in it) also these policies often only cover certain box sections not not every panel.
I would however argue that the warrenty is not an issue (assuming oyu got it form new) got to the selling garage and advise the car is not fit for purpose, a 4 year old car shoudl not have rust coming through
I have had the car from new, and there's been no accident repairs or anything like that. The perforation warranty does cover everywhere but is very specific in that it states the corrosion must come from inside and must be due to a manufacturing defect. Whilst they could argue it's not a perforation yet, if it is left alone it will turn into one. The question is is it a manufacturing defect? I'd say yes. Is it coming from the inside? That could quite easily be debated.
I'll run it into the dealer on Monday and see what they say.
Anyone aware of this problem having occurred before?
