Have had the car 6 weeks.. failed to start ..radio wouldn`t turn off..(now fixed with software download) first journey over 50 miles severe juddering rear left nearside wheel , i stopped thinking i had a puncture but the tyre was fine but smelled of something overheating/burning . Both front windows have only one touch opening not closing minor i know but annoying. Car is currently at the garage being fixed.
The local dealership has been very good but far to many faults for a premium brand.

Sorry to hear your problems, if it helps the window is easy to sort. It just needs reset as per manual insructions. Iit happens cause of power disconnections, eg battery not connected in showroom/compound.

Also sorry to hear about your problems. You'll see that your not alone (which is no justification at all, I know) but you'll also see that all of us here have stuck with it. A good dealer can go a long way to help minimise the inconvenience caused by these problems. Do keep a good record of your interactions with the dealer.

Hope the problems are fixed soon, then you can join the rest of in the 'smiley' brigade !!

Thanks for your replies i will keep the faith and hope to join the smiley people soon but patience will be sorely tested if it brakes down again !

Bad news my friend, but on the flip side at least the dealers should be gaining experience to fix these little electrical glitches. My dealer 'claims' he can now fix my old car of its faults, shame I will never find out though.

I'm now up to 1000 in the new one and to date 100% perfect so good luck

Got the car back yesterday 2 new rear brake shoes fitted (handbrake fault) windows fixed you were right joe 1978 just needed re setting . Parked car on hill later that evening applied handbrake and.....car gently rolled down the hill .. a new twist on HDC !! Back to the dealership it goes....

No Quercus i did not have HDC switched on, the problems with the handbrake it needs adjusting so it actually works on a meduim gradiant hill any hill actually...........................mmmmmm i suppose i could move to Norfolk .
I realise the FL2 is a complicated machine but maybe a simple handbrake check at the garage after the previous work had been carried out would have been a good idea.Its going back to the garage this afternoon i`m sure everthing will be fine ..eventually.

My handbrake is not brilliant, seems to be working when the handbrake is pulled really high up, my driveway is on a slope aswell.

I was presuming the cable just needed adjusting, I will see what the service its due for finds out

There's a amall amount of "give" in the handbrake on mine, eg you park on an incline apply the brake fully and there's a small, approx 4" movement left in the wheels.
Does that make sense? i presume it's just a characteristic of the car?

Mine's been back in once for the handbrake - they said something had come loose ( ) and now it was fixed. I'm still not too sure though, as it only holds the car if you pull it up really hard. I'll get them to check again next time it's in.

Isn't this sooo often the case. A parts is replaced, or a system repaired, but when you pick the car up there's no change. Happend to me just a couple of weeks ago when the radio/cd was replaced - the cd wouldn't work at all. Now surely yhey should have checked the basic functions of the unit. Instead its up to me to apply quality control to their business....

We keep making excuses for these guys but its a crap way to run a business

Great news as of 2.30pm GMT there is no fault with my car it starts.. the radio works ..the windows work..it drives beautifully and the hand brake works.. .
Will now drive with fingers crossed and have to wear my lucky pants( ) thankyou all for your suggestions/support hopefully will have nothing more to moan about .

Go fill the tank and drive 'till its empty ....
