..and a welcome from me too. Car looks just great. The 4.2 must be a joy to drive.

welcome from me too, lovely car, apart from the seats being the wrong colour;)

That later 4.2 TDI is a stonking motor.. Mine has been remapped to just a tad under what that later lump produces as standard. MRC told me they could get that thing out to about 970 Nm.... staggering.. wel jel too +++:cool:

Ah yes, I see now. Full drug dealer look :p

Loving this car, its taken me a few days to get to grips with the tech, even te seats have taken a lot of messing around with to get them right. Sometimes too many adjustments just make for more confusion but I am happy now, they are very comfortable. Still trying to pick the differences in the various suspension/steering etc settings. Dynamic for all except steering (auto) and suspension (comfort) is feeling like the best compromise right now.

The difference in the suspension/steering settings are very subtle i find.
I usually let the suspension on Auto as most days i travel a mix of short motorway and bumpy rural roads. I have mudflaps fitted which bottom out a bit on rural bumpy roads if the suspension is set on dynamic.
Have you had a play with the interior light settings yet, the Ruby/Polar combination is pretty nice with a 60-70% brightness setting.
