I got a cracking deal thru DTD, matched and exceeded by the garage I visited on Saturday - 200mile round trip for a test drive!

Due for delivery late March early April

So, any kind gentlemen here between Leicester and Hull with VCDS and knows how to add all the extra fun bits, around April - I would be very very grateful!

I know, not even 5 minutes and I'm tinkering with it!

You lucky lucky man. The wait is going to kill you!

Check with your dealer! Mine is willing to do a few VCDS tweaks for me as part of the handover!

(Nice spec by the way!!)

[SamF]

I did think of that, but I assumed the dealers were less than helpful when it comes to tinkering (without charging)?
I will ask the question

Blimey, I only signed the paperwork this morning and I'm clock watching already!!

[dmcconachie]

They can only say no!

I've been waiting since end of October!! :'(

Sounds very nice indeed! Very jealous

[SamF]

Thanks,

October! Oh Dear, I really hope it is not going to take any longer. March is already such a long .... LONG ..... time away already

Nice spec! Very similar to mine. The wait will seem endless, but oh so worth it!

Does anyone know about the TPMS on this? What is it, ABS or Sensor? Anyone got any pics to share of what they have?
Please!

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is ABS sensor based i think - there is no special pressure monitoring stuff inside the wheel that can get damaged when tyres are changed.

Got no pics but i have seen mine go off twice. First time it just went off and said tyre pressures are low - check them and reset the TPMS system so it is calibrated for correct pressures. The cause of that was simple temperature differences... When I collected the car early July it was 29C, once the temps dropped to 12C it saw a tyre pressure drop and nagged (and it was right they all needed 3 or 4 PSI).
Second time it was "nearside rear tyre is under inflated" or words to that effect, and it was right 'cos there was a nail sticking out of the tyre.
