Standard spec is - 17in alloys, climate control, cruise control, maxidot (display between speedo and rev counter - easier to read and allows various changes to certain convenience functions without needing the dealer to do it e.g. auto door/window closure, comfort indicators etc), tyre pressure sensors, auto lights/wipers, jumbo box (drivers armrest with air con underneath), half leather, e/w all round. (non maxidot is an LCD display, half the size, and similar to digital watch/calculator) As far as I know, UK standard spec has 18in alloys, no maxidot, no jumbo box, manual air con and only front e/w. BTW my '07, blue, VRS PD diesel IRISH car, with only 29000 miles, 1owner, FSH, new turbo under warranty last year, new ABS module about 4 weeks ago (covered for further 2 years), is for sale :yes: Has all the above along with Parrot Handsfree kit and 6cd in dash changer. Check Donedeal if you wish -Mayo area. Cheers

I notice that you mention itunes for burning. If your track list includes any purchased itunes tracks you'll probably only be able to burn in standard audio format i.e. max approx 25 tracks per cd. I think its one of those annoying features that apple have used to stop tonnes of stuff going from one pc to another with relative ease. I have an Audience unit with in-dash 6 cd changer and had the same error message when I burned purchased tracks in data format. Re the CDRs I have only used imations and have never had any bother
