T350 - Advice from owners
Discussion
I've just got my car this week and am absolutely delighted with it. However as part of the "the bonding exercise" (no chains involved as yet) I've got a couple of queries which I know owners out there (and that includes you Flasher and Benno ) might be able advise about.
- ) Tyre Presures - handbook advises 28psi. Owners sticking to this or are there better settings to be had.
- ) Dipped Beam headlights - project about 20ft in front of the car (it might not be 20ft but it seems a very short throw to me), can these be adjusted at all without dismantling the car.
- ) Are you guys getting any significant wind noise (easy tiger) around the drivers door. Having a look at it the window doesn't butt up tightly to the frame completely. Can the dealer adjust this or will I have to learn to live with it
- Passenger seatbelt runs fine but had a wrestle with the drivers side which jammed. Eventually gave up (after 5 mins of gentle teasing !!!) went for a drive. Tried it again and it was fine. Ontop of that at 6ft 2 theres plenty of room but the seat backs are annoyingly squeaking on the roll bars over the door
This is not a build quality thread/gripe, quite the contrary I'm pretty impressed and expected these little things. Just wanted to see a) if others had come across the same and what if anything could be done about it before the 1000 mile service.
P.S Its very very low and already as I've learnt the hard way gentling grounding it out at a junction with different gradient slopes. Must try and avoid speed humps at all cost
Thanks for any advice.

Yes Ok I admit it I copied you and went for Cameleon Green. All the way to the factory I wanted Lambo Orange or Spectraflair Silver but Gerbil didn't seem very impressed with the orange and the spectraflair didn't have the wow factor it had at the show. A very personnel choice colours but came down to Halcyon Blue or Green and had to make a choice. Interior is black/Oxford Blue (which was the hard bit to get past Danielle)

Thanks for the advice all.
It would be useful if we could keep a thread like this one open where "owners" can post real issues (and resolutions) as they arise. Future and current owners are then forearmed a little to what to expect.It also helps us chase our dealers if a "fix" is made available. As stated before this isn't a build quality witchhunt but just sharing a bit of info around
I for one know I'd have tried to fill the car as per normal and looked a bit of a muppet when the fuel starting spewing out. Have this treat to look forward to and I'll be going somewhere "discreet" and "early" sometime soon.
eeermm has the car got front fogs cos its got a switch on the dash but don't notice any difference in lighting from dipped beam (rear one comes on OK)
