Post by: mike142sl on August 21, 2009, 09:10:44: Very nice, although I would say that having one myself. Is it Manual or Auto, and if auto did it come with cruise control?

Post by: beast5680 on August 21, 2009, 19:38:55: Its a Landmark auto, no cruise control but has heated seats leccy sunroofs which personally i dont like as they are bound to cause trouble, and climate control, also has the stereo controls in the back behind the rear seat with a headphone jack socket :D

Post by: mike142sl on August 21, 2009, 21:23:48: Mine doesn't have the heated seats but there are cables under them presumably so that I can fit them if I wish - where are the switches?.
I fitted the cruise control myself which was very easy, I think the two switches cost £59 and they just plug in and away you go.
The stereo contols behind the seats have been fantastic for the kids, means we can let them plug their headphones in and control their own volume whilst we have it turned right down.

Are you keeping it standard?

Yes it's all there. The scariest bit is taking the air bag off the steering wheel - just a couple of Torx screws and leave it 30 mins or so before disconnecting it and there is a little plug you connect to the set switch which moubts on the side of the wheel. The main on off switch replaces the blank plate on the right of the dials, just take the blank plate off and connect the switch.
