so after a week at the dealers she's back home a list of things sorted and and the drive home that was as entertaining as hoped for after a 2D XE for the last four days, BTW very impressed with handling on the XE, less with the lack of puff but to be fair it is 190bhp down on the SC and it did feel spritely for a 2D.
diff oil seals replaced, drive shaft oil seal replaced, new bracket for the exhaust, new coolant header tank, ITCP s/w upgrade done.... everything works the petrol vapour smell has gone, so all is well.
deliberately went the long way home down the twisties and had some fun :lol:
Meridian 825 cranked up listening to some well produced XX and it sounded great, but then had to turn it down to listen to the exhaust rasp, the noise is intoxicating
A 1000 miles in, the drive is never anything less than awesome, i am hoping it has finished on the naughty step and we have bedded in and resolved the mechanical issues and i can get on with enjoying it!
oh and CARL I had the mud (cowsh) guards fitted, the ones your admire :shock:
The dealer service dept redeemed themselves yesterday afternoon and today with good information flow (which they instigated) and when i picked the car I was told to go out for a decent meal and they will foot the bill as a good will gesture.
