The Adventure Begins

Hi everyone,

Having spent some time as a guest, hoovering up the tips and info on these pages, I feel I can now join in - especially as I collected my black Multijet from the MK suppliers today! There was one small mark (not quite a scratch!) on the front wing, which they immediately polished out, otherwise the PDI seems to have done its job. The number plates have been stuck on, no vandalising extra screws, thank heaven.
For those who are fascinated by the tiniest detail, I haven't got the split/folding rear seat but I do have the upholstered front headrests; the seat belts are not adjustable.
First impression is how quiet the engine is - not at all as loud as the test drive some months ago and certainly quieter than senior management's car (04 Punto JTD).
Next job is to do the necessary to connect my iPod - again, these pages have been helpful and (I think) I know what to do. Fingers crossed.
Incidentally, to all you Tomtom One owners: there is a Panda icon which you can use to replace the arrow on the screen of your satnav, which is certainly worth a giggle or two.

Cheers.

Re: The Adventure Begins

Hi,

Congrats. I hope you enjoy the car.

All the later cars have upholstered head restraints, think its been that way for a while now. My 57 plate MJ certainly has this.
