I got her!

Picked up an 05SE auto yesterday.

Love the alpaca leather interior.

Had 16.5 avg mgp when i picked it up! Big Cry

Drove it around 90 miles home using drive and liberal squirts of the loud pedal for overtaking, boy does that fat heavy girl shift!!! Twisted Evil

MPG now sitting at 27 which I guess is around normal.

Now to get the torq tune sorted before she goes in to become a van.

had a trip to chester zoo the weekend, dialed in 80mph into the cruise control. Seems this is about tickover 2100rpm!.


Had a play with sand mode aka takeoff - damn this car is fast!

Easily the best car I've driven by a loooooong way.

Only gripe Ive had so far is sometimes the cruise control wont turn on, i have to stop and turn off the ignitoon and it seems to reset it.

There's a TSB about the CC problem - something about clock springs need replacing. If you're still under warranty then it should be done FOC. Only problem I've ever had and I put up with it for a year until the first service...... Embarassed

I've just had my intermittent cruise fault fixed under warranty.

If yours is an 05 reg (like mine) it may be worth checking as soon as possible as your warranty is probably on the way out. Big Cry

My cruise control set doesn't usually work, I have to use the + button instead, is this normal?

Yes you press the + button when you are at your desired speed.

Then if you cancel it and what to go back to your saved speed , you press the cruise control buton to resume.

If you stop at some services ..it loose's it memory and you would have to press the + button again
