Not long home , absolutely shattered . Note to self , drive down the night before in future .

Car is amazing , ran a supercharged jag with the 4.2 many years ago but this just seems so much better , not much whine though .

Ride is really good , but the interior is next level compared to my old 2013 405. Just so much better in every regard.

Fuel consumption , well tried hard to keep the foot light , but after belly full of sweeties and juice , hammer down home . So just over half a tank to home which is pretty good considering .

Only problem is centre armrest in the back will not close , so might be a fuse and the footrest attached to passenger seat clearly is a bit fragile as it’s not closed fully either .

Decent warranty so I’ll be able to go to MD easy enough .

Will fire up pics tomorrow , couple of beers , sleeping by 8

Congrats and wishing you many happy (s)miles.

Regarding the rear armrest I would just check the hinge that lifts the top is in working order and mirror and remote controle are in sittue. My hinge was broken on hand over which the dealer replaced but the top section alone is over £600. I was told they remove the fuse as when the armrest goes up electrically the mirror and remote fall and open the top therefore braking the hinge.

re the rear arm rest, also check the child window lock isnt activated as this nullifies the arm rest too. The control panel on the top of the drivers door controls it and is supposed to be lit but mine doesn't light up and I'd accidentally activated the child lock when giving the car a clean. First time FFRR owner

Nice looking car - welcome back

Stunning! Love the colour (in and out)

Cheers lads , feels great being back in one , didn’t think I’d miss them so much .

If anyone knows the answer; would this have 100% had the remote for rear entertainment? Will need to see about getting a build sheet. Minor annoyance , but would it really be used, probably not .
