Need an insurance quote as well ,I know in London they're refusing to insure them or giving quotes of 3-4 thousand because so many are being stolen, and yes they sound fantastic.

Finally got off my backside and programmed a new key to the Big Black Pussy.  This one has legends on it as well, taking the guesswork out of knowing what button to press on the rare occasions you need to.

Washed the dust off it. Drove it to a restaurant for lunch and on the way there I had to drive very slowly due to being behind a driver who had clearly died at the wheel and momentum was the only thing keeping him rolling. Just about to nip by when my snooper eyesight caught sight of Mr Plod lurking in the hedgerow with a Radar, so a special thanks to the dead bloke for keeping my speed down.  ;D

No problems with them. I suspect one of them might have been a bit sticky because one pad had worn a little more than the rest, but cleaned and lubed the pins and it went back together OK.

Got it into service mode using the pedal trick and it left the calipers alone for the whole afternoon while I was dodging the showers.

Permanently disabled the stop/start BS. Can't believe it's taken me 3 1/2 years to get round to this.

I guess it can be coded off. Got it off on my car, unless you drive it in ECO-Pro mode.... which I never do  :)
