Hi Ian the problems where both auto dimming door mirrors failed, normally very expensive but my mate doesn’t really drive at night anymore, so std replacement would be fine. The tipTronic buttons on the steering wheel didn’t work but if I used the gear-lever worked fine. Seemed a bit reluctant to kickdown and Rev upto the Rev limiter. Do they have a kick down button? And I could smell oil dripping onto the cats/exhaust (rear gearbox oil seal maybe) and damaged trim or the rear door threshold. My mate was put off with the high tax. So is still for sale
