That would be nice as some of us do not belong to facebook.

I had chance to have a quick show around a 26m/y yesterday. Can’t say I liked the look of the headlights as the actual light area appeared diminished due to the additional ring. That may just be my perception though. As long as they perform as per the originals then all is well I suppose. Nothing else kept out during my quick shufty around the rest of it but it was getting dark and peeing down with rain.

So the very early ones had quality materials but just hit and miss on some of the various 'fixable' issues

Nope - VIN1219 and my steering pump squeals like a stuck pig

Wow ok it’s not an age thing then.

The key fobs are identical from 25-26MY. No changes.

That's good news! We've still got two unprogrammed key fobs for our '24. We were about to burn them as backups when the door lock recall happened. Just haven't found time to get to the dealer and have thework done.

When my door buttons got changed the new fobs don't seem to set the alarm off anywhere near as much. I had to put a rubber ring in to stop the old ones from continuously being caught

 

[Happyoldgit]

I had the buttons etc replaced on mine, the new fobs don't seem to have quite the same range as the originals which is a shame as the alarm button was handy to see off the Muntjac deer and random foxes barking near the house. We are rural and have no close neighbours.
