  1. Strange... I did find a tiny umbrella in the door pocket, but I don't have leccy seats or canton.
  2. OK, I'll bite - what does that mean?? You need to keep your seats and stereo dry?
  3. Thanks, though I'm not too bothered as I only use them when it's foggy. Unlike the, er, twit, on the M4 this am, in pouring rain with the rear fogs of his Audi A4 on, blinding everyone
  4. I don't think my SE L with toys counts as poverty, but you are right - it's not a vRS, so obviously I am lower down the pecking order in this thread i did notice that the 0-60mph of my 2.0D estate is 8.2s, so probably as quick as a Mk2 vRS D! Not that we care about 0-60 of course...
  5. Thanks. I was also surprised that the rear lights have filament bulbs for indicators and reversing - hidden behind a shiny plastic bit. Must grab a photo some time.
  6. Taking a look at the LED headlights... The fog lights don't seem to be LED, and are a bit yellow. Perhaps that is deliberate and the pure white of an LED would produce more glare?
  7. I haven't done a lot of driving in the dark in the 10 days I have had the car, but did go through some unlight and unfamiliar country roads in Gloucestershire when the M5 was closed on Saturday evening - I don't remember thinking that dipped beam was a problem.
  8. Sorry, off your topic, but supporting your " cappuccino beige (I like it anyway) ": Only had it 10 days, but appreciating the better ride due to DCC - and the LED headlights, as TheManWithNoAim says, they are excellent. Did 600 miles in 28 hours at the weekend (from Bristol to open day at Newcastle Uni) and was very happy. The 8" Amundsen in the Mk3FL is nicer than the 8" Columbus in my old Mk3 as the full glass just looks more classy - and the satnav and other functions all seem faster. Don't think I will miss the HDD jukebox as I have a 32GB SD card with plenty of music. Both cars have the 2.0d 150 engine and the new one should feel tight, but it actually feels faster than the old one did at 74,000 miles.
  9. I haven't seen many FL cars either. Those LED DRLs are bright! Looking forward to seeing what the LED headlights are like after dark
  10. The new motor has arrived 2.0d SE L. Have only driven round the block as it were, but it instantly feels like a better ride (thanks to DCC) and is much quieter than the old 2013 Mk3 2.0d Elegance. And I judged emptying the old fuel tank to perfection - remaining range was 20 miles. I realise that it not going to be everyone's favourite colour, and it's not a vRS - but I am happy
  11. I can understand the lease company stalling until the new reg mark change on 1st September, but if that's the case, I should be getting it on Friday! (My main issue is not knowing how much fuel to put in tonight )
  12. I was told by the dealer that mine was in the UK on 16th August (possibly earlier) yet they told me yesterday that they still don't have it for them to do PDI etc. Presumably it is in a compound in Grimsby or somewhere like that. No clue as to when I will get it, though I had hoped for this Friday 1st September. It's a company car, so I am not going to shout about it, but frustrating since I was due to change on 4th July. (I ordered a bit late and the lease company wasted a month before the order got to the dealer...).
  13. This is a company car via a leasing company - on 22nd May, they said "...the current anticipated delivery date is 15-09-2017", which is exactly what a lease company email said yesterday, so it hasn't moved at all. Other people seem to talk of Build Week moving about the place - which made me hope that mine might arrive earlier...
  14. I was told this by the dealer on 17th July: "The estimated build week is wk 30 which is w.c 24.07 then shipment to the UK so expected delivery will be apprx early-Mid September"...
  15. Thanks for the detailed answer pist0nbr0ke. It looks as though I was asking the right questions This is a company car order through a lease company - before I order the mud flaps, I might try it on with the supplying dealer, and see if they can throw them in for free, or at cost...
