What to look out for?

Hi,
So I bought her, Car is immaculate. Drove 400 miles home and got 32mpg which I was amazed at, lots of this was stuck in traffic jams. The suspension I was worried about feels great, really tight and by no means does it feel harsh. Getting used to the throttle right now as you just touch it and your away!! Only issue has been a slight creak form the drivers seat over bumps, I will sort this tomorrow though.

Moving the headrest upwards slightly got rid of my seat creaking over bumps.

Hi,

Cheers

I agree, was reading post after post for months before pulling the trigger and heard good and bad things. Absolutely no issue with it and even my wife thinks its fine, this coming from driving a CL500 which has amazing soft suspension. Only thing the Mrs was moaning about is the exhaust 1st thing when you start her up, said its too loud!

Women need something to moan about

They sure do!! What would you recommend as the best plugs to use, the current ones have around 25k miles on them and think I will DIY them. Also what's the correct oil for the DCT? Thanks in advance.
