New FF owner in Surrey

Afternoon people, thought I might say Hi, picked up my 2012 FF westminster on Saturday, and have been grinning like a Cheshire cat since then!
Just let my trusty RR Sport of 5 years go, and I must say I loved that car..... Until I got the FF. Had a disco 3 in the family as well. BUT..... not going back now! 2006 RR sport HSE

Thanks guys..... Quick question, trying to work out the steering column adjustment on entry and exit! The manual says the seat and steering wheel will move to a easy access position on entry and exit..... Mine does not! Any suggestions?
Cheers in advance Very Happy 2006 RR sport HSE

Pretty sure you can switch it off and on via the menu in between the dash clocks

You can turn the option on and off with an IIDTool. Ed

Many will say, that given the replacement cost of the column, when faulty, to have it just on manual adjust. The option, is to have it whizz away from you when key removed, and come back when key inserted. It can wear or break the motor over time, and is often annoying to, I've when you get in with say a bag on your lap or something, and all of a sudden, you are crushed. As long as you can adjust, -or rather your guest driver. Then, it's best left alone. Am I right in thinking, you can set both keys, to remember different column positions, and have it work that way. ?
So, unless you are a portly guy, and need some extra belly room when getting in/out, leave it be.

Different keys should adjust it to whatever memory slot 1 holds.

Very useful when my sister has been driving it because she's so short I physically cannot get into the seat after her. This way I don't need to remember to adjust it before hand. Ed

As suggested above, the column is £1600+ just for the part without labour Shocked

Let alone the cost of the seat motors Shocked And the wear & tear on the delicate seat wiring loom (airbag light issues etc etc)

The function is called easy access and is in the central screen on your dash TFT, you adjust it using the steering wheel buttons and is in the same menu system as things like “forward alert” or “full beam assist” etc etc etc

Mine is switched OFF!!! and i suggest everyone else that values their electric column does too Whistle Whistle Whistle Bow down Thumbs Up

I was asking above so I could turn it on. But, thanks for the advice which makes a lot of sense - I won't do it now Smile Best Cheers

Thanks guys.... I will leave it alone! Just wondered how you could switch it on or off.... I'm 6' 3" so the seat is quite far back, and the steering wheel is high any way! Thumbs Up 2006 RR sport HSE
