      I have one of these too, great car, watch out for the DIS, the manifold flaps and the rear windscreen washer hose where it comes out of the roof and into the tailgate, the hose can wear and drip water on the MMI - not good! Is it manual or auto?

        It's an auto. Thanks for the heads up on the above though.

          No worries, I've tried a few different tyres too, I had some Uniroyal Rainsport 2, they were great but short lived, now on Eagle F1's and Nokian winters on 17's. These big old things are useless in the snow without snow tyres BTW, 1800kg sledge!

          Mines a manual, I've done 50K in her now, 150km's in total and still smells new!

            Well mines on F1's already! :-)
            Only covered 60 miles so far but everything is going well so far and is lovely to drive.

              Only one issue now, can't get the rear light out to change a bulb. Need a plastic pry tool thing so I don't damage the paint.

                    So far I'm extremely pleased with it.
                    Quick enough to be fun yet as you said reasonably economical, filled it up yesterday and the computer said 560 mile range which I'm happy with.
                    Its great having the torque when overtaking road bikes, herds of middle aged men in Lycra (MAMILS) on the country roads around where I live. Sorry if any of you ride road bikes but it does annoy me when there are 10+ taking up the whole road riding going at 10mph!

                      Mine's as Yours, Dobby- and after over 18 months of ownership (and 152k miles on the clock) I still really enjoy driving it, but the auto 'box drives me nuts.
                      The wife's 207 is off the road at the mo, so she is taking me to work in it tomorrow and taking my pride and joy to West Wales for the day

                        Managed to get the rear light out this evening to find the bulb wasn't the problem, the whole circuit board has corroded and needs replacing. Oh well.
