Show Us Your Motors!

Finally got? Has it been way for a while? This is the year I get a ride out in it :cool:

Dropped it off at McLaren in November for a weird electrical gremlin, dash would cycle randomly on and off whilst driving like it was rebooting, doors, windows, lights and heaters would all reset or go crazy, engine would stay running but gearbox would drop back to auto. As it was getting bad, had it recovered and told them I think its the body control module as I'd had multi meter hooked up and there was no voltage dips but the car was going mental, would even do it whilst locked up and off, it had become possessed.

Had it recovered, thankfully when they off loaded it the tech guy experienced it, even locked him in, good job for emergency door release pulls, but no error codes stored and it then never did it again for two weeks can be random, two weeks later starts again and they feel I may be right body control module but they had dash out checked loom and ended up replacing the steering column motor and security body control module and update all software across all modules. This was all finished over XMAS week and it has been three weeks of checking and no issues so decided it was time to get it back. Fingers crossed what they have done has cured it, I was in no rush with it been Winter so let them store it, back now see how it goes. Praying all sorted but with such a random issue they cannot be 100% they cured it, but its under warranty until March 2027 now so all good. :)

I watched last week - the whole time I was wondering who volunteered their car for this knowing it might get damaged. Did you have an agreement that they'd pay for any damage?

Tbh I didn't even consider it getting damaged. I had to sign quite a few documents but Mat was so careful.
The mirror damage was actually caused last year on the way into Goodwood FOS - A camper van drove down a very tight road and hit a number of mirrors including mine.
