    The mirrors on my 110 are dead flat, I can't see bugger all out of them compared with the curved ones that were on my 89' county.

    Well it was dark when I left and dark when I got home today so I didn't get to check the mirrors out. Maybe tomorrow.

    Hook, nice jibe but can you elaborate???

    What kind of electronic probs have you encountered?

    I thought this car's electrics were quite basic. Interested to know, apart from wear and tear issues e.g. headlights etc. what other electrical gremlins exist...I have read that there are Cry-Wolf Warning Lamps on the dash. ABS, traction control etc come on and off at odd times...

    As I mentioned, the brochure shows a bell type object where that engine bay cup holder is.... kind of reminds me of a pop-off valve that the Champ Cars/Indy Cars used to limit boost when they were running turbo engines.

    On a 900hp 2.65L V8 turbocharged Indycar [sigh, they are no longer used in competition], it might sit quite right, but surely you wouldn't need that on a 90Kw diesel engine.

    Seriously though, the build quality isn't perfect but it is loads better than it was before.

    I heard the headlights in the new model actually have a relay instead of switching direct from the light switch. Anyone know if this is true or just a wild rumor?

    Does that mean that the issues with the headlight switch (on previous models) "burning out" are eliminated?

    PS - The mirrors on mine are flat and identical to the 2006 TD5 ones. Perhaps we all got random mirrors.
