Thanks. I will look up my VIN, tomorrow.
I guess what's really bugging me is not knowing whether these other faults might have been caused as a result of the recall problem not being fixed when I b ... |

Can't be.
Otherwise why would it have been necessary to perform the recall work a couple of weeks ago, without notice?
Looking at the supplied wheels, etc, I'd guess at a Summer 2008 or earlier ... |

Some fine ideas being put forward but I'd hate to mess with the shape...
I definitely second Chris B's call for the "winter pack" to be made standard - and across all models, please.

The onboard computer, on my TD4 Manual, tells me 7.4 Litres / 100 Klms (about 31 MPG) on a 75/25 split of country roads and Motorways.
I do use the Cruise Control, quite a bit, on the Motorway and ... |

Thanks for your responses, everyone.
Excellent tips and advice, as always. Child locks! Didn't even think of them.

That sounds like the Gadget I'm thinking of, npinks.
Very rarely leave the dog but I find that even when filling up and leaving the car on the forecourt, whilst I pay, is long enough for it to get ... |

Seems different on mine... The Dealer told me:
One press = two flashes of indicators and alarm is set and, I'm advised, so too is the volumetric sensor. Mirrors fold.

Hi Inernest, sorry for the late reply.

Thanks very much for all the advice.

The advice I was given (and the Handbook confirms) is to drive smoothly and keep the revs below 3000rpm for the first 800Kms (500 miles).
