Well...my winters are now on the loaner and WOW... drives lovely. Whole car feels more sorted...ok ok so its essentially only got 1000 miles on it so its new..but no wheelspin. Everything seems so sorted.

I think my car is a Lemon.

well, been told its fixed and dealer has driven it properly to test the AWD..

Seems a AOC software update has sorted it...

We'll see tomorrow. Hope so!

Well all seems sorted thus far. Car now feels solid. Need to drive the car for a few days to ensure all is 100%.

I would say to anyone with anything mechanical that needs fixing; ensure your dealer sorts/updates the software related to the mechanical thing that was replaced or wonky.

Seems obvious but these are stupidly complex cars seemingly based on windows OS

I would also say ensure you request anyone like a master tech test driving your car to actually drive it like it's theirs. All they seem to do is drive like a hearse and see if any warning messages appear. If none then problem obviously fixed or not present. Well we now know that's not the case.

Dealer excelled themselves in the end, really grateful for their efforts and service.
