Cheers Henry… not planning any major changes, maybe replace the reverse lights from match power to LED and add a dog guard!

Just had a read through of the kit this vehicle has got… blimey! It’s going to take some time breaking playing with all these gizmos…

It doesn’t have climatic seats but it looks to have a timed climatic thingy that either cools or warms the vehicle before you use it….

It also has a Sport button… I assume that burns more diesel quicker and has a direct impact on just how far you can plough through a hedge at an increased speed?

What other options should I not play with?

Sport mode just extends the shift points the car has yaw sensors which sense the vehicles motion and optimises the gearchanges to suit most situations.

Yours is a vogue so it will have a fair few gadgets the heated wheel was a favourite..

Should have stuck with the P38

the amount you spend and not still not be able to drive it, could have a "hell free 22" sat on the drive

You should play with them all to make sure they work. so they break within the period the dealer has to fix it, after that touch nothing
Do you have a button that looks like a skidding RR? dont play with that you may actually have to drive it.

Sport is fun.

Have you got it yet.

I tried that approach. Just because the dealer is legally obliged, doesn't mean they'll step up. I'm sure you can force then with a lawyer, but that costs money.. probably more than the fix

Small claims court can be DIY, doesn't cost a lot.

Fair point, didn't think about that, but I'm not really up to the fight

Often just a letter before action is all that is needed.

A phone call saying what you are about to do, maybe enough to kick their arse.
