    I was washing my car today and found a few rust bubbles above the wheel arch. The car is a 54 plate and I only got it last month from mini in giffnock. Does anyone know if this could be fixed under warranty or if I will have rust warranty? It will be 6 years old in October.

    I'm starting to doubt it can be repaired under warranty because it looks as if it is chips that have caused it.
    Taking it in to John Clarks on friday anyway. They are going to take pics supposedly.

    Are they getting it sorted for you then?

    So annoyed at harry fairnbairn, if they had sent out the touch up paint as promised then maybe my car wouldnt be getting rusty. I will never buy from them again.

    Douglas Park are getting Curtosy car for Friday, they see it is under the paint coming out.
    Glad as it just looks nasty.

    Hope to drop it of for 3 on Friday and get it back sometime next week. not in any hurry as it is on rear quarter and drivers door.

    Let us know how you get on Stacey.
