This one will be well looked after, once I determine if it is already remapped or not then work can begin :-)

Very nice, first thing I'd do is fit a set of genuine mudflaps.

Sounds like a good idea mate! Are they subtle enough as not looking to make it look WRC at any point??

I expect the Columbus has been retrofitted as an 08 pre-FL wouldnt have been available as an option.

If it has the GPS antenna on the roof then may have had the Nexus and been updated to Columbus by a previous owner; otherwise may have had a Stream and it has a 3rd party GPS antenna in the dash somewhere.

Either way win-win for me, I didn't cough up for it! I'm not sure mind because the other cost options have been fitted and by what they are suggests the first owner knew they did the miles, Sat nav, bum warmers electric and auto everything- thats my theory :-)

Also going in for cambelt and water pump on tuesday so after that can really see what it will do :-)

Well she has been in for a new cambelt and water pump today- in @0900 hrs and just had the call saying its ready! Not bad since they haven't done one before.

As far as the tech can tell, it looks like the original belt that was on it, so 75K on the car glad I got it sorted :-)
