Your order should be itemised and a build list should also be available to show you what the car has as options and when each stage should be met. Demand that the dealer supply this information.

Thanks for Reply fisherman. Sorry had a rough day.
I changed the color, interior, removed timed climate control (as from you guys in here I can start the car remotely with the app anyway) and I added the rear entertainment unit.
Color I choose on a whim was Leoire Blue. I do think all the colors are great
Interior - nimbus/expresso.
Risk .... hell yeah!!!
Had a Dark Grey with black interior for last 10 years so Change is in the air..
Expected Delivery now early July. Ordered Nov 16.
I think its under 100 days to wait now.

You won't be disappointed with Loire, I had it on my DS and D4, that's the only reason I didn't go for it again. When the sunlight catches it, it's amazing.

Take a look at the reviews thread and the video I posted. The Loire blue with Dynamic pack is a stunner.

Lee,
I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are but we still ordered the FBH (Remote Park Heat).
I use the RPH (Fuel Burning Heater) in the winter to pre-warm the engine and the cabin before starting the engine to go out - that way the engine has an easier life.
We use the "Climate start" (App) in the summer to start the engine to run the air-con compressor to cool the car.
Just my 10p's worth.

Hi Andrew,
This time of year it's not THAT cold.
At 0540 in a morning in the dead of winter in the middle of Somerset I use the FBH to warm the cabin and the engine so it needs less effort to start the engine.
Less wear, less load on the starter and the battery.
You can do it either way but my engineering background makes me think I'm doing my bit to look after the car.
On the RRS2 - I have no choice but to use the FBH - so I suppose it's now a habit !

Agreed, however I didnt think the D5 had the FBH option.

Scrumps In Aus We rarely get the cold conditions you guys do. I am hoping as the dealers really dont know much down here. that i can add on bits later if required. My first priority now is to get the car.
I am hanging out to actually post pics of my car when i get it. lol
