Got to book my first service in the next week, 10k in 2 months! Wonder if my BE will have any recalls? -
Better bulbs for Mk3 headlights.

Cant recommend Nightbreakers enough, quality bulb. Hopefully there do a H15 equivalent. Have osram cool blue 501's as rear number plate bulbs -
I had trouble also, wouldn't download the update

Is the sports pack (bodykit) and hawks still available on the website as options? I knew they are only available on certain colours tho -

Cider, have you tried ringing around some garages to see what they've sitting in the show room and not on the dealer network webpages and not yet advertised? I know Ipswich had a white 1.6 hatch and I was in Cambridge and they had a black hatch recently. A dealer may have a estate available? -
Traffic Updates (no more?!)

Had no issues with mine loading Traffic Reports and subsequently displaying them on the Nav screen. Been quite accurate also -
Had a similar buzz develop in mine also, after reading this thread I gave my sunglass a knock and cured the issue!

Give you any clue on how the tell the difference on the suspension set ups? Pedal box has made a hell of a difference, the car feels like it has some go about it now. Previously had a Mondeo ST TDCI and I liked the surge of torque it gave when you put your foot down, found the Octy lacking in that department but the box seems to have gone some way to compensate -

Cool be interested to see how those ones fair. The H15s I have fitted are fine as DRL's, just naff as high beams! -

Looking good falkster, do like the roof wrap! Just fitted the Pedal Box I won on the dtuk website, results to follow! -

Well having done a few night shifts now coming back in the dark I can confirm the H15s are better as DRLs than high beams! The nightbreakers are far brighter, however theres a good chance because there the 7500k variant and not the 5000k alot of the usable light gets lost. -
Cant justify the cost of a extra set of rims and tyres especially since I've never had any previous issues in winter on standard rubber. If there's a dusting of snow just ring work and say you cant get off the drive
