Finally done it Cerbie 4.2 Green and sat on my driveway (took 3 days to get over looking at it). OK after 6 weeks of purchase it's still stunning, does this continue?????
Upgraded from Galaxy 1.9tdi and noticed the difference straight away when rolling backwards before even starting the engine, handbrake what handbrake must be the shiny control the other lever points at.
Great forum for discussing the cars individuality especially after reading about 'mil' lamp. Hadn’t noticed that one light so had a look at weekend, 2 wing nuts as read here earlier, cover off , there it is "wire cut" ooooooohh s**t the missus isn’t guna like this bill. Off to garage to heat up soldering iron, soldering behind controls viewing through window screen and remade continuity. Ignition on no light, immobiliser off, ah there it is, turn beast over engine starts and light goes out. Big smile on my face. Next job will have to be power steering, fluid leaking from somewhere not sure yet any ideas is there somewhere prone to leaking????

Cheers guy's nice to feel welcome........
I picked car up privately from South coast, which meant a 170 mile drive home M3-A34-M40-A43, what a baptism. Luckily it was dry on return although heavy storms on outward drive journey. I have driven it in the wet and you do need your whits about you, not too keen on sideways driving when the power cuts in between 2000-2500 revs on a roundabout though.
Will post picture in profile once charged batteries in camera.
