Manual mode was fine to use but just never bothered with it much on the back of the other issues . Car was nice looker though..Engine was great too other than coil packs failing . No doubt an electric issue not engine itself.
Worst part was despite a fair bit of time and cash we could never get the tailshaft /centre bearing warble to go out completely .Diff was fine though strangely . Tailshaft was sent away for balancing and all . Couldn't get the radio to work properly , CD stacker was jammed and the car yard was supposed to fix that but never did and the factory sat nav had apparently been tampered with.
Fifteen months ownership was enough . She was less than 200K clicks too. Won't ever buy a car again , no matter how cheap without a proper look over and decent test drive . Never again . Lesson learned .

Don't ever mention coil packs again.
Final warning Roddy......
I gave up on the centre bearing too let alone the door actuators.
