Nice to know you are happy with some things on your R  :kiss:

I am full of delightful surprises. :kiss:

There are only 2 items that need attention:
(1) Re-alignment of the front passenger door.
(2) Disconnecting the Soundaktor.

I am seeing the Warranty Manager this Thursday. Time at my convenience. I've known him for 6 years. He'll call out Master Tech.

No lowly workshop grunt for you  :laugh:

Hope the door gets rectified to your satisfaction.  Let us have your thoughts on the absence of the Marmite Soundkator  :smiley:

Have you turned the Soundkator down, or off?

Ta, just wondered as many just turn it down to say 25%.

I'd imagine getting an R to tramp is extremely difficult, even with poor rubber, due to the 4WD system.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I expect someone might manage it  :laugh:

Maybe I might try, to burn through that Bridgestone rubber quicker if no one is interested in buying my tyres straight off the new car.  :whistle: Seriously though, 4WD is my main reason for getting the R rather than sticking with a DTUK'd GTD. That and availability of Lapiz blue - there's 6 GTDs within a 5 minute walk of my house and they're all 5 door TR like mine.
