[texasjohn]

That's really nice. I love your wheels, my favourite style

[dicky.hillary]

Looking good :-)

I think I'll have to get some of those wheels.... well, when the financial controller approves the purchase order :-)

[MARKPRIOR]

thanks guys

Hi Mark - have you figured out whether it's got VDC or full adaptive drive ?

[Pottsy]

Using the warranty check then VIN decoder trick... it has:

Sports auto
Through load
Adaptive Xenons
Folding mirrors
Nav pro

[MARKPRIOR]

VDC i was told, (not the dancing suspension one)

going through settings on car sport mode gives me the options of Drivetrain or Drivetrain & Chassis


whats the easiest way to tell ?

All cars have those options regardless of whether they have some form of active syspension or not

Do a VIN check and this will give you the exact build spec

Put your VIN in, format C375xxx

It's actually quite an interesting spec, and one that I can understand. The owner clearly wanted something good to drive, but didn't look too flash. So not an M sport, but he has put in sports seats, sports steering wheel, anthracite roof liner. He has the most powerful diesel at the time, and has coupled it with the regular suspension. Add the other items to make night visibility good (xenons, adaptive lights and dimming mirrors) and you can see what his priorities were. Personally, the only thing wrong for me is that it has 19's and not 18's.

Very nice, and I'd like a 30d or 35d engine too.

[MARKPRIOR]

yeah the power delivery all through the range is great, such a smooth engine, looks like no VDC but tbh im not to disapointed as its still such a good ride

Nice spec

You can get a remap but I understand that they now have to remove the ecu to do this, not the same as pre-2010 cars where it was done via the obc socket in the car.
