Fit and finish, esp under bonnet covers D4 (MY12 SDV6 se)

I have just picked mine up on Monday and yet to have a good look over, but have noticed same as Lotz-A-Landies re the plastic boxes beside the battery. Mine do not latch at the rear and after many goes I gave up. I do have the rubber stops on the bottom part of the doors.
I have finally got the audio to recognise my phone (Hi-line) but I am still finding my way around the whole car and all the buttons on the wheel. Put simply it is a journey of discovery:wasntme:.
So far in a week I have done 1000km and will cover another 600 by the time I get back home from work in Sydney on Friday.
It is a dream to drive and has plenty of power, as at times I had to give it a bit of a squirt to get around the RH lane hogs at 100kmh on the F3 on Sunday. I have found it quiet, powerful and extremely comfortable on the run from Coffs to Sydney, and I look forward to the return on Friday.
The fuel average was 9.5/100 for the trip down and I am interested to see what it is like going uphill back to Coffs:angel:.

White! Isn't that a shade? ;)

Re the D4, it's so nice this week I even thought I retire the RRc to the farm so I can give it a refurb before it goes onto Historic plates in 2 years time.

Who would have thought I'd say that two months ago!

Please forgive my improper grammar. [thumbsupbig] he he!

"Refurb" now there's even more work to be done;)

The plastic covers on mine don't clip on very well either.
The rubber stoppers are on the doors.
Noticed the PS reservoir rubs on the metal bit of a hose,not good.
Had a peek underneath,can'tbelieve the number of pipes,hose,cables,etc,etc.

Does anyone know if they have breathers on the diffs,auto & TC?

Overall though,very happy with it,so quiet & comfortable,& even though it is the 2.7,has enough get up & go for us.
