It is basically UK sei spec I suppose, except we did not get the wood at that time apart from with the V6! The mint green (Onyx I think) is also a rare colour over here at least! Regards, Matthew T.
Thanks for welcome. Onyx it is, then. In register papers, it says "brown". Ignorants..

A bit too much detail there...
Are the seats heated?
Leather needs special treatment. Seats should be heated but I've heard rumours that it's pretty rare that heating works. Didn't test yet.

Interior seems the same, altho mine's older and no AC etc. Nice!

When you say you cleaned it with the wife all I can imagine is a (probably angry) lady being dipped in a bucket of soapy water and dragged across the car like a sponge
Is it wrong I love those headlamp washers too? They shouldn't work as they are too bulky but I think they do.
Dropping in an hour is a bit quick, the spheres could be flat giving a hard ride and these symptoms.
On uneven ground dropping the suspension fully will result in the bottom touching the ground, on a smooth surface there should be maybe 50mm clearance under the car.
Good luck with it!

Lol, let's see what else this language barrier brings to us.
Didn't yet test washers. Don't know it they work, I'll see
Some Finnish enthustiastics said the dropping interval varies alot and someone had XM which dropped as soon as you turned the engine off - even thought balls etc were all renewed etc.
This DID feel a bit hard whilst I drove it but don't know - the suspension didn't yet seem to be in right position in the back, althought the familiar, lovely "floating in the water"-feeling did occur..
XM's now on waiting in the garage for hydraulic pipe and bits. I'll get her running next week again and see what she has to say more.
