After a long search and finally my heart getting the better of my head I made the plunge....and now it's mine all mine
I do however have some questions...
Where in london is the best place for a professional interior clean, I have to say the dealer last owners has not left it as I hoped.
Is it worth getting the detailing done?
Why does the stereo sound like its coming from under water?
What other bits and bobs are worth doing
Keen to meet other owners in the west london area to compare notes and tips or can anyone recommend a good meet soon
Thanks also to all over members over the past few months/years whose replies have helped me spend all this money

Car looks good, you must be pleased 
it is eerily similar to mine, apart from the colour, is it meteorite? so no bias involved there at all 
If you want to get to a meet try this http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Can't guarantee the technical advice
but there will be a chance to exercise the sportpack and have a good chinwag over lunch.

May be worth looking at this thread. If the crappy relay contacts have degraded to a further extent than I had then the sound could be s
te when static too.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=112...
Congrats on the car btw.
Congrats, looks great!
I think the stereo (I have the Premium version) is pretty good, so as others have said, try the settings in the FAQ, otherwise may be worth getting it checked by the dealer.
For bits and bobs:
Take out Fuse 22 if you haven't already!
If yours is pre-2009 facelift then change the interior bulbs to LEDs, they only cost about £10 and there's a couple of threads on here about it. Also replace the plastic stereo and sat-nav knobs with the rather nice metal knobs from Tony Hall. He does new heater knobs too.
Also, depending on the model year, if you have a USB port in the centre console storage then you can get a portable hard drive, put all your music on it and just plug it in.

Definitely remove fuse 22.
