First off is the wonderful plug and play cruise, is this really as simple and two switches and 10 minutes with a stanley knife ?? Could do with some feedback on that please - ideally a template if anyone has one.... or a fitting guide for the mentally challenged...
Second one is can you get the emergency card from anywhere - went throught the handbook and it seems like I should have one in the wallet but dont.... Any advice gratefully recieved...
Third one - Got a really funny whirry grindy noice when cold when the clutch is depressed - goes off when hot - forward and reverse gears, and simply dipping the clutch causes it. No noice when clutch released in or out of gear. I'm thinking clutch release bearing, but could it be another nastie hiding in the depths...... Got two years warranty with car so the dealer will be doing the work - dont want to be fobbed off though
Fourth one is probably just me - car seems to struggle and strain a bit at about 3k revs, and while power is there it seems to strain like it was restricted - fuel or air filters ?? - also seems to get very noisey at this time
Looking forward to the ownership bit - looking forward to not crying everytime a bit drops off and I dont have to pay mitsi prices
keep well
