20,000 mile report...

Nothing to report  :grin:

No issues, no problems, no nothing

Just plenty of miles, and the engine is loosening up nicely.

Sport and Sound pack always raises a smile from those that hear it the first time

Service carried out last month, and I swear the car accelerates faster than before, but can't see any evidence of any ECU updates

I wonder if you can fit the Sport & Sound pack aftermarket?

I'd love that on my GTD, the only thing its missing

I fancy a set of those but they are a bit pricey for such a minor mod. Have you any pictures of them fitted to the car?

2nd service at 36k miles, and the rear discs were replaced due to corrosion

Just glad my company car lease people picked up the full bill of £328 plus the service cost  :shocked:

All very slick with the online video giving you the full breakdown of the inspection, plus the ability to authorise work online

If I'd suspected that they would be replaced, wouldn't have bothered painting the hubs last week when the wheels were being swapped over to the summer wheels

+1 for Sport and Sound, I use it most of the time but nice to be able to 'turn off' the exhaust when you are on the motorway.

Keyless is also great on the diesel, it just starts itself whilst you buckle up (in terms of waiting for the plug to warm up in cold weather).

Nice spec phope, "enjoy" the wait - definitely worth it! :)

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but regarding the above, does the glow plug warm up with no further effort other than pushing the start/stop engine button?

Yeah, mine just takes a couple of seconds to warm up the glowplugs after pressing the switch.
