Will be taking some more pics at the weekend - got a long drive to Leeds tomorrow to test it out! :thumbup:

Two issues at pick up though - The back wasn't 'de badged' as promised, nor were the Alloy pedals fitted, but in fairness I have a new salesman who took over my order as the previous one is no longer with the dealership...

She will be letting me know when I can take it back in, and they will give me a rental for the day while they do it. They also gave me £100 as a good will gesture.

Yep settled in nice on the Drive up and back down from Leeds :)

I wasn't aware the GT model came with Voice control though - it seemed quite responsive when I was trying it.

Haven't managed to find this "standard" Flat Tyre indicator thingy!

I stand corrected - it is in there, just slightly set back and if your not eye level with it, you can easily miss it.

On slightly different note... changing bulbs - not as easy as I expected. So far I have managed to switch around the Main beam and the Foglights. The side light and other headlamp, I can't for the life of me switch out.

I also removed the trim around the sidelight and now can't get it back on :grumpy:. All I seem to of ended up with is a sliced up hand!

If there is anyone in the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire/Hertfordshire area that fancies showing me....

As usual Trix - you are the perfect help :D

So now all I have left to do is the dipped headlight... any magic you wave for that one? :P The manual says "turn anti clockwise" - don't seem to work! (Hard to get my hand in there as well).

Changing the headlights is a pain in the arse, ended up scraping all the skin of my knuckles doing mine! Have no tips apart from you just have to persevere and eventually you'll get it to twist and unlock!

I already looked but can't seem to find any previous instructions. i've tasked a better man than me to write a roccopedia page to assist others ;)
