^^^Didn't get a chance to get the photos today as I've been driving most of it, over 400 miles with over half that on country roads.

I found out that not only is the sunglasses holder useless for holding sunglasses but also for holding my XXXX mints.

I also tried eco mode for about 10 miles :rolleyes: How much of the sound/noise you hear in a GTD with sport and sound pack is the sound and sport bit and how much of it is the soundakotor or whatever it's called?

Washed it twice because of a pigeon.
You need to give the missus her Jackie Onasis sunglasses back and get a mans pair. 
They fit great in the sunglass holder😀

They do actually fit into the holder but they move about in it so much that it was starting to mark them.

Keeping it, just had a call to say that the full cost of repair is going to be covered plus hire car for the days it is at the detailers. Now to the other problems.....

Not a great start but hopefully all the teething problem will sort themselves out now ?

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

Or could have been fixed by heavy braking from 70mph to zero a few times for free most likely.

I can't take any credit for that William. Golfhappy another member on here was the one who sent me it in the first place. So a doff of the hat to him too.
