Hi have been doing some cleaning on the s2000 today and have found a tiny bubble of rust on the front lip of the bonnet - am I right in thinking there is a corrosion guarantee on the car ?

 

But the bonnet is aluminium, isn't it?

 

I dunno but aluminium can still corrode !

 

Yes, details all on the Honda website and in your handbook. You'll need to take it to a dealer.

 

I'm no expert, but doesn't ally need pretty extreme conditions to corrode?.......

 

Nope just a hole in the (Honda thin) paint and moisture, salt atmosphere will do it quicker or electrolosis.

 

I stand corrected, and therefore I shall resort to being pedantic......... Told you it's not rust

 

ALi rots like mad. Ali worm can be the curse of Land Rover body panels.

Aluminium corrodes when it touches steel for a long period. That's why land rover had problems with their new cars in recent years, as out of the factory they had aluminium panels riveted/spot welded to steel frames, so we're rotting in just a couple of years!
