New car time :)

He said in his ad he would consider a part ex lol, offer the pug and drive it up to him Nice purchase by the way. Whats his real name by the way? A cursory investigation reveals he tried to sell it on ebay but turned down an offer of £11500.

You will notice a big difference between that and barney (have you got a name for it yet?) Also, if you value your spine, a change to non run flat tyres is a really good move. The run flats go in less than 10k and cost an arm and a leg for something that gives no benefit if you have aa or rac cover.

One thing to watch out for is that sometimes the logic 7 system can go bad. Its prohibitively expensive to replace and its all fibre optic and linked in to the car, so its not a quick Halfords replacement radio exercise.

I'm assuming with all the paperwork that things like the coolant and brake fluid have been done? One thing to consider is that the fluid in the diff and the manual gearbox will need changing at about this time. Its something most people overlook until they get an increasing whine coming from the rear.

Now the negatives are out of the way, you will notice a huge wave of torque delivered in a very linear fashion. You can easily loose your licence just putting your foot down for a few seconds on the motorway, it will easily cruise along the M4 doing about 36mpg. It has the newer N52 engine which develops 268Bhp and is an absolute peach.
