Hi, I'm Chris and I just joined!
I just picked up my '08 TD4 SE with the factory fitted sport kit and wheels this week.
After owning a 'hot hatch' for the last four years it's nice to be high up again Wink
These pics were taken at the dealers before I drove off and got it mucky Rolling Eyes

Looking lovely.

What hot hatch did you have? I came from a 300bhp astra VXR to a freelander, do miss the power but life is so much easier going mountain biking, day to day stuff in the FL, even doing bit of off roading from time to time Smile

Don't worry, I already decided to change the repeaters before I picked it up - ordering this week Laughing

@mini-eggs, it was a Toyota Corolla Compressor, 215bhp supercharged and one of only 250 in the UK.
Fast and silly and totally unsuitable for a work car, I loved it!
Oh, I also own a twin turbo 5.4 Mustang as my toy....... Twisted Evil

Nice looking vehicle.
I think I'm going to fit orange repeaters every 18" down the sides of mine - like they have on lorry trailers. I like 'em!

Hey, at least they got me a few posts on here Laughing

I wish I'd known, I would have refused to accept the vehicle until the factory design error had been corrected under warranty Rolling Eyes

Better put some new pics up when the 'accepted' repeaters arrive Thumbs Up

ASAP Laughing

just push the repeater either for or back , against the vent its mounted in.. you will see on the new ones that they are simply held in with a spring at one end and a hook at the other At work
