| well - i've had it a week! |

Well, one week old today - my TDV6S, and the euphoria and big grin have started to wain!
Can I really only get 22mpg out of it?
Why does my drivers seat sink (and I cant get comfy)
And I cant fit my DVD screen cause of the stupid position of the alarm sensors.
And I cant find anywhere easy to put the DVD player
And LR want stupid money for a bluetooth kit
And why does it fart at me when the air compressor exhausts
And why have the wipers got a mind of their own
And why am I missing my TD5

Keep with it Al,
1. 22 mpg  I dream of that mine is only doing 21.5 in the cold weather - don't panic it will get much better.
2. Something to do with buttocks catching the lever? don't know really cos I have electric seats.
3. No time to watch DVD's so can't comment, sure others can though.
4. Not arf!! what a rip off, get an aftermarket kit for 1/2 the cost.
5. I fart when I wake up too  give it some credit, it has soul!
6. The wipers do have a mind of their own, but If you wind the adjuster on the stalk back a couple of clicks it helps.
7. You are missing your TD5  can't understand that one, surely not.

Had a parrot 3100 bluetooth kit fitted in my van this week.
An excellent bit of kit!!!
Will probably get 1 put in my D3 after christmas just the question mark about the connectors.
Have spoken to the dealers about the accessory bluetooth kit, they say it is nowhere near as good as the factory fit kit and yes it is very expensive.
The parrot kit was £160 fitted. I expect this will be a bit more for the 3 though. Zermatt silver 06 reg.
Gone but not forgotten !!!

22mpg, you are lucky, ours is averaging 17/18 mpg.
Someone on this site fitted a roof mount DVD player with flip down screen in place of the passenger courtesy lights. looked good.
Try a search.
I told the wife that I was thinking of getting rid because of the low mpg and she said that if I did she would kill me.
