Thanks for keeping us updated on your day to day adventures with your new F type.
I got to see the Firesand color in person yesterday....and boy is it orange!
I hope I don't regret getting that color. The black seats with the contrast stitching looks nice.
cheers

Today the lane change warning system failed - slight rain - nothing out of the ordinary - we'll see if it works when i leave the office tonight...Also, the windows don't go up when you close the top using the roof button - In the XKR if you held the button up they would close after the roof latched. Also, much windier cockpit even with the screen than the XKR with aftermarket windscreen

Did you find a solution to this yet? I picked up my V6S (Salsa Red) yesterday, and this has already happened a few times. I pointed the dealer to this forum, as he hadn't heard about this yet.

I was surprised that the deflector appears to be a perforated fabric. I'll bet an aftermarket solid one will appear soon. Rear visibility through it isn't too bad, but I found the view is distorted enough that I couldn't tell if a police cruiser was behind me, or a car with a roof rack. Important difference...

Ok, the console door, early models only, first 100-150, pops open when you lock the car, officially. Parts on order by dealer. Finally, check the passenger side seat belt shoulder holder on the seat. Mine was stripped, much cheaper setup than the XKR. parts on order. Any sign of a glass wind deflector?

There's a service bulletin on it now, what it's supposed to do is lock it when you lock your car...instead it, the lever inside the back, opens vs closes. Take it in, they'll order you parts based on your VIN

Yah, I talked to the dealer about it. They are ready for me. I am waiting for the TSB on the suspension since the dealer is a bit of a drive and this isnt the biggest deal.

ECO mode (I think) glitch
So, 2 more items - both re ECO mode.. Yesterday I pull up to a stoplight for a left hand U turn - my light goes green just as I almost slow down, or maybe I even did just come to almost a stop, hit the gas to proceed with my U-turn and complete loss of power - I look down and the engine has cut off - luckily I had enough forward momentum (busy 3 lane each way highway) to complete the turn coasting into the break down lane on the right side. I put the car in Park - and then hit the start button and on my merry way again - but just in case this was the ECO cut off (don't know how I would have had any momentum however to do my u-turn) I left the car in Sport the rest of my drive back to office.
Additionally, I have noticed at highway speeds - I think around 1800 RPM - if in regular D with no dynamic, and no Sport - that the exhaust has a sound like a hole, or loose fitting - coming from more under the car than behind - maybe like the resonance setting is out of synch or something? Anyone else? I have a friend that was driving with me and heard same as me.

The first thing I do EVERY time I get in the car is turn the ECO mode off. Have had bad experience in other cars and absolutely hate these systems

I was stopped at a light last night, with the engine off in 'ECO' mode. Threw it in sport mode, and the engine stayed off, so I'd say No, sport mode doesn't disable ECO. ECO mode is disabled in Dynamic mode, though.
