Some of ours do. But not all. I think I've done them all now, but as usual I've no doubt I'll find one I missed in a few weeks

BTW does anybody actually set their alarm to change their clocks at 2 am?
Of course, isn't it against the law not to? :sarcasm: 8-) :lol:

I was once awake come 2am and it was interesting to see my digital bedside radio change from 1.59 to 3am - that was when the clocks were going forward of course. I must admit it was partly curiosity. I woke about 1.45am and thought, I wonder what happens when it gets to 2am - well now I know!

A lovely thought Merv, but, in the end I opted for a Mazda CX3 Sport Nav.

I need major therapy, a nurse and the screens, but in the end opted for a brandy.

I do like a deal, and managed to get a full set of plush floor mats, full tank of petrol and a free first service out of them. You don't ask you don't get is my motto.

Very impressed with the customer service from the young lady and her colleague.

Did you buy new or previously owned Stephen? If new I would have expected they would have knocked at least 10% off the OTR price, maybe more in the current climate.

One of their pre registered demonstrators John. Only 835 miles on the clock and saved around three and a half grand compared to buying new. Could have brought new but you lose so much value just driving off the forecourt.

Wise decision Stephen, if the car you bought has everything you wanted, and is a colour you can live with.

Mrs S liked the colour more than me, but as you say, I can live with it.
