Hi all,

Since there are a lot of posts about the same thing over and over...

I think it would be a good idea to add a Sticky thread with all the little things people have found with ownership over the first few months.

i.e. a Top list of posts/questions asked:

1. The general consensus on how they should be run-in

2. How the SMG works - what to expect

3. Oil issues, like consumption during run-in

4. What to keep an eye on - like the OIL LEVEL!

5. Thump of the diff. in SMG Mode 6 (how to ease it)

6. Expected Fuel Consumption

7. Peoples experience with the Bluetooth system

8. Tips and tricks for the Key system (some may not be aware of these)

9. Tyre Pressure system (RPA) - I posted a recent thread on this

10. How long Services should take.

I'm sure there are others, but the list should be limited to 10-15 items????

Thoughts???
