Afternoon All,

Harder than expected to find that Loire blue HSE Lux for the miles and price I am looking for, so opening up to include HSEs.
Now I know that spec debate rage, but as far as I can tell, the major (for me) spec difference on the inside amounts to the DVD in the headrests, maybe 825w over 380w sounds
BETTER SOUND SYSTEM, BUT NOTHING WRONG WITH THE 380W SYSTEM, BUT YOU'LL REALLY NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU LISTEN TO DVD'S, WHEN IT'S JUST LIKE BEING IN A CINEMA!,
better leather (which the little terrors who I would like the DVDs for would wreak anyway)
THE SAME LEATHER, JUST MORE OF IT ON THE DASH AND DOORS, NICER STEERING WHEEL LEATHER TOO
and multiple cameras that some of you chaps seem to think are a bit rubbish anyway.
IT'S AN EXTRA ON BOTH THE HSE AND THE HSE LUXURY AND IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY
Although it looks as though cameras can be found on some HSEs, as well as TV sometimes and 825w.
Graphite probably a bit below in spec, so am ignoring.

Assuming that it is better just to buy DVD/IPAD and attach it for long journeys than have them retrofitted (if this is possible). Or just play I Spy, or try to hold a conversation I suppose.
THE DVD IS GREAT FOR CONVENIENCE AND SAVES THOSE ON THE BACK HEADBUTTING A GLASS SCREEN (AND ITS METAL AND PLASTIC MOUNTS) IN AN ACCIDENT! I COULDN'T BEAR THE IDEA OF SUBJECTING MY DAUGHTER TO THE RISK OF THAT. I DID SET ONE UP FOR HER, BUT WHEN I SAW HOW DANGEROUS IT COULD BE, WE REVERTED TO THE STANDARD DVD PLAYERS. I WOULD AVOID RETROFITTING, THERE ARE LOTS OF ELECTRICAL WARRANTY IMPLICATIONS.

And tinting the glass clearly looks less good and could effect insurance.

Also, am I right in thinking that all post MY14 models have the stop/start facility?
YES

Want low miles so I can keep if for a bit, but now stressing about this ULEZ thing. Are MY15 good for ULEZ - anything Adblue (or is that the start stop?). And what about Euro6. Am still a bit confused?
SOME CARS BEFORE 9/2015 WERE EURO 6, ALL CARS AFTER 9/2015 SHOULD BE. LOOK FOR THE ADDITIONAL ADBLUE FILLER CAP BESIDE THE NORMAL DIESEL FILLER CAP. WELL WORTH IT FOR FUTURE PROOFING AGAINST EMISSIONS LEGISLATION.
