I am now the second custodian of this Pearl Black Mk2 ZTT.
But of a struggle as V888MAC plate transferred and the standard one 06 awarded.
Car is stock save for X Power P clip; magnetic sump plug; K&N Air filter.
Air con playing up and haven't figured out cruise even after reading manual.
First run A1 M11 M25 and based on fuel gauge for what that's worth but looking like 27 + mpg. Stunned.
Now on the immense 2810 Miles. If its like my 260 of 04-09 it'll be another 5000 miles before loosened up properly.

Thanks to everyone for the help so far.

Stupid grin on face already.
When filling up another driver on leaving asked if it was a v8 and said "cool" when it was confirmed. Nice feeling. That's what annoyed me when got XF after last 260 and saw 5 other XFs on the first day!!

Always willing to learn from you all.

Guilty as charged I had meant a X Part P clip. Had 4 go on me with MJ04HWB 3 in lane 3 busy motorways. Good for a laugh ! Believe X Part clip really works as did miles 4k to 52.5 k not out on clip number 5.
What do folks thing is the mileage before it all loosens of properly from new?

Any chance of a translation for those of us not familiar with this particular language?

Well folks 372 has been to the garage and got the passenger side vent blade replaced. Sun roof visor put back on its track. Aircon re-gassed. before the A/C only got cold on the driver side if the passenger was on 17-19 not lo. Now as the garage has given the valve a tweaking it seems to be working. So I am toggling the switches to work the valve more and hope it frees right up. Result I hope touch wood.
How much does the lates Black Olive valve cost?
The garage wanted 450 to fit an X Part replacement!cruise now works as per forum advice so lift the clutch pedal for a couple of seconds after centre console switched on and then the steering wheel controls do the job. The proximity sensor above the clutch pedal needs its position changing a tad but that can wait until the next visit. New boots on Tuesday. Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225 45 18 Y £141 per from Asda. Reviews suggest grteat grip and 85/55 times more wear than Conti 3 or 5 s. Any other ideas welcome on the tyres. Cheers.

It think it unlikely that you would get 85 to 55 times more wear than a conti,Michelin might be good but not that good!

Sorry that was 85/55 times which were the scores in the comparison, or 1.545454 times. So given the 5k I had with the Conti 3 m3's about 7,700 miles for the £9 per boot seemed Ok to me. Anyone had the M Pilot Super Sports? thoughts please.
