Cautionary tale and reason for having a spare. I live an hour and half north of Inverness and was on my way Up north in my company car (Mitsubishi Outlander hybrid) had a puncture an hour from home no real problem as I just call the lease company who will send out K.....t to repair or replace. Problem 1: no mobile coverage !, had to get a lift to the nearest phone box (12 miles) then get lift back problem 2: The muppet on the other end of the phone insists on a post code which is IV 27 which covers most of the NW of Scotland (Sutherland) but he insists on 6 digits so I give him my home code just to get things moving. Problem 3: Told I need to stay with car and wait for K....t to ring me and confirm details (problem 1 comes into play!!!!) Get K....t to ring the phone box and I explain where the car is and all seems to be ok, get back to car and two and half hours later the van finally arrives. Problem 4: Tyre needs replacing and guess what he did not have correct size with him so now need recovery, back to Problem 1&2 fair play to fitter he gave me a lift home where I made arrangements for recovery company (from Tain) to pick me up and I guided them to car and finall got tyre to Inverness to have tyre changed. sorry if this is a bit long but moral is a £200 stare wheel would have saved me a whole days pain. Positive outcome is that company has now stumped up for spare which Sod's law says I will never need :-) ps My new L&K will have spare (required as part of tow bar fit) and I will be removing full kit from my Monte Carlo which will appear on for sale section soon.

To answer the original question. No, the Yeti that I have just ordered (L&K) or the one I have just sold (Monte Carlo) comes with a CD player it is not listed as a standard fit or offered as an optional extra, I did notice that the Rapid I was looking at while waiting in the dealers did have one fitted in the glove box. As with most in things in life you pays your money and takes your choice including how you prefer to listen to your music in the car.

Member: Highlandyeti Current: 16 plate White Monte Carlo 150 diesel manual Arriving in 4 - 6weeks: Petrol Blue L&K 4x4 150 diesel DSG with lots of exra toys (looks like going to one of the last L&Ks) Location: North Scotland

Looks like I will be getting one of the last ones built, been told today my 2lt 150 DSG L&K will arrive in four to six weeks.

Ordered 2lt DSG Yeti L&K in mid Jan with heated seats, electric drivers seat, heated washer jets, spare wheel and towbar, have not been able to get any updates from dealer, if you do not mind me asking how long does deliver normally take from time of order and at what point can no changes be made. Thanks John ps, Monte has gone so having to drive wife's Outlander PHEV while I wait so getting desperate :-)

L&K definitely still available to order. Placed order yesterday (March Delivery) for 150 DSG, with towbar, spare wheel (compulsory with towbar!!), heated washers, electric drivers seat with all that goes with that, reversing camera, this is replacing a 16 plate white Monte Carlo that I really like but feel that I want all of the bells and whistles that go with the L&K so time to change (only had it 3 months so as you can imagine wife really impressed ).
