Slight anti-climax.. Called into work today but I'll take the test drive tomorrow instead and I'll update the thread afterwards. Thank you to everyone who's replied

Er yeah.. I know..

I haven't committed yet and my cash will stay firmly in my pocket until I'm happy. Tomorrow will go a long way to deciding if an auto is for me but the purpose of the thread is to find out if there's any peculiarities and/or potential issues to look out for.

I pretty sure the MOT was updated a couple of years ago in an attempt to stop/deter people from doing this. The aesthetics aren't for me but if you go ahead then be prepared to face some problems with the MOT and/or the law.

All being well I'm off to look at a 370 tomorrow. I've been on the forum, and researching, 370's for months and I'd like to think I know them pretty much inside out. I was planning on going for a manual but an auto has come up for sale near me at a great price so I'm going to have a look tomorrow. Besides all the usual checks is there anything specific I should be looking for or listening for when it comes to the automatic gearbox? From comments on here those that have auto's seem to love them and I can't recall any horror stories but I just want to be as educated as possible. Griff

I use this - http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/All_Purpose_Cleaner_p/allcln.htm Even diluted 20:1 it seems to cut through anything.

Pulled up next to me while I was working.

I'm with Admiral. 36, 19 years NCB - £420 protected NC but I do live in a WS1 postcode which isn't going to help.

Taken from the 2009 brochure - Like others have said just select the heated rear window function and the mirrors will heat up too.

Can we at least get a video of Spain?

I thought the title said Specsaver too! Irony huh...

Not a fan of the Mk1 at all. Mk2's getting much more affordable and look much superior IMO. Lots of kit included as standard too.

Thanks! I love the sound but not sure I could live with it on a day to day basis. Can you let us know how it's been after a couple of weeks?

Any chance of some in car footage to see how it sounds when driving?
