Your first port of call is plenum check and bonnet release mod, do a search. Have a good read through the How To section plenty of info in there. The diesel guys will soon give you tips to improve performance.

Some niggles, the rear lights or side trims can leak so check the boot for water, a strange whoop noise on occassion that's just the aircon not a problem but a regas stopped mine.

Take a look in the valet forum for advice on leather conditioners etc.

That's a few to get on with I'm sure other members will add to the list soon.
Any questions ask and welcome to the club

Hi. I'd like to give Parker's advice about the plenum, full respect.

It's not too too complicated to fix and seeing whether you have the problem is quite simple. And I'm a man who has virtually zero mechanical know-how!

But it's the first thing I'd do, 'cos it resulted in quite a bit of damage nin my case...

Good luck tho', you picked a great model of car!
