Spyder5

So the car is finished at the dealer, I haven't got it back yet but apparently they have raised the headlights to their upper setting - they were set to the lowest. I drove the car in the dark on Wednesday behind a lorry at 60mph and I can confirm that at 10-12m the lights weren't even on the wheels let alone the reflectors! I'm looking forward to seeing if there is any improvement! Climate control had no faults

Thanks for the input guys, its really appreciated. The lights are brilliant, I love the visibility around town and pootling around the lanes, its just the motorway that was an issue. We haven't driven the car much in the dark as we've only had it a couple of months so couldn't say for sure if it lights up vehicles ahead although my gut instinct would be to say it doesn't. I didn't know they could be adjusted, I will certainly mention that to the dealer and i'll let you know how we get on! The climate control is probably fine and I just need to get accustomed to it - I have only have had one car before with CC so don't have a lot of experience with these systems. Just a thought, does anyone find the seats on the firm side (ours are leather if that makes a difference) I'm hoping they will soften up in time!!

We have a 2014 FL Greenline which is heading for the dealers later this week to sort out the tow bar electrics and a rattle, but we also have have couple of other concerns about the car which we're not sure if they are faults or not! 1. Headlights - this is the first car I have owned with adaptive xenon's which move about, they are amazing around town and estate roads where we live but for some reason the beam doesn't seem to adjust for motorways and seems "wide". You end up seeing a long way down the hard shoulder and across in to the right hand lane, but directly in front and the whole width of the lane it stops short. I would guess we can only see the carriage way lit up in front for about 10m (two and a bit dashed lines on a motorway) directly in-front of us! 2. Climate control. It works great for a while and then all of a sudden it gets colder and colder and the fan speed increases slightly until you surrender and turn up the temperature to make it stop! If you feel the climate control panel its really warn and I'm wondering if that's effecting the temperature sensor (which I think is on the front?) Am i the only one to have notices these and do they sound like faults or am I going to sound like a right plonker when I ask the dealer to look at these?! Thanks, Simon

It was done by the supplying dealer - I won't shame them as overall they have been pretty good and I'm sure they get it sorted. I'll let you know how I get on! Cheers all

Sorry to resurrect an old thread! I had the tow bar fitted on our Yeti by the supplying dealer before we picked up the car after we selected "Tow bar Prep" as a factory option. I have connected the trailer today and i'm not sure that the coding has been done correctly - some functions work, but not all. Bulb failure system to be extended to trailer bulbs - This works because we had an indicator out Allows the flasher ECU to accept the additional load of the trailer flashers, without changing the flasher unit as normally required - All OK now bulb is fixed Switches off the car rear fog lights when the trailer is plugged in - This is happening Switches off the rear parking sensors when the trailer is plugged in - This isn't happening Extends the alarm system to sound if the trailer is unplugged when the alarm is set on the car - I haven't tested this! Enables the in-car display to show the trailer when reverse is selected - This isn't happening Activates a trailer stability programme in addition to the car one, when the trailer is plugged in - Is there anyway to know this function is working? So, is it possible to only have some of the functions working?

Roof bars have arrived, time to load up!! 2014-06-11 19.47.37 by mxspyder, on Flickr

I just picked my Yeti up from Wings - couldn't fault the place to be honest. Everyone I dealt with (and I dealt with every department!) was professional, helpful and enthusiastic. They seem to have a lot of very longstanding & repeat customers which gave me confidence when choosing a dealer. They gave me a good deal too. I will report back after the first service.....

Yes it is - we love it!

Finally picked it up!

Oooh a Barnet Fan! My wife's family is from Whetstone and her brother has been a lifelong fan of Barnet - he's even got me to a few games!

I'd be interested to see what the Petrol Blue looks like - that was our other choice!

and to say i'm excited is an understatement. Only 12 weeks to go! We have ordered a Outdoor Greenline Elegance in Jungle green, black roof and silver roof rails. Its our first brand new car so the experience has been a real learning curve. Looking forward to posting some pics when it arrives
