    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.
    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.

    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!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    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.
