First time I locked the glove box it wouldn't unlock or open, after the dealer twigged it was not just me being blonde (ie they couldn't unlock it) they replaced it More recently the handles on the boot which you use to enlarge boot and lift soft top are playing up and sticking. The soft top also had to be replaced just before the warrenty expired. Replaced no qibbled but justt after replacement the hood then broke down whilst I was on holiday - not impressed! The car also eats tyres!!!
