Try taking it off sport mode, sounds like you're hearing the actuator

Bloody squeal from the rear of the car when the car is reversed off the drive first thing in the morning, normally when its wet and possibly from the rear brake disc although I am not braking at the time. :undecided:

I get this every day, without fail, regardless of the weather.  And its loud  :angry:

Same here ,have you mentioned it to your dealer? Yours is pretty much the same spec as mine

No. I'm pretty sure they don't give a toss so no point  :laugh:

It makes your car sound more "grr" through a device that resonates through the bottom of the dash with increasing grr as load increases. Some like it, some don't.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I'm getting increasingly bugged by the way the car automatically starts playing music when you turn it on (even when the music was off before) and how it switches to the new source every time one becomes available - even if you were already listening to something else!

Last night I walked out of a petrol station and as I got in range of the car it stopped playing music off the SD card and switched to playing from my phone via bluetooth.

I can't believe this is deliberate design; looks like a bug to me. I hope they release an upgrade to fix it.

I'm becoming increasingly irked by the fact that it is not here yet... 21 weeks and counting... the dealership have it but they say it takes a week for the road tax to arrive and the lease company won't let them deliver without it...
