Might have found some answers
Sorry if it sounds like I'm just the bearer of faulty badness, but I believe I've found an answer for the wide array of weird errors and issues I've seen.
To quote from honestjohn.co.uk:
"Very early cars, especially pre-production models used for dealer launches, could suffer a variety of electrical gremlins." - which mine most probably was.
So far I've had the following occur randomly, all fixed by turning the vehicle off and back on
Now... Does anyone know if there was a recourse to this or if it was just a "live with it" because issues were only ever temporary?... I'm concerned that if they don't remain temporary, I might have a lemon on my hands.

- Forward Alert/ACC unavailable
- Satnav option greyed out/unavailable
- Climate option greyed out/unavailable

This is a new battery, and it is driven more than twice every day, so not likely to be the cause.
HOWEVER if there's an electrics problem that is just a drain in my case it could be causing what you see even though I use it daily. Not sure how you tell if you have a drain though.
Thanks for the input guys.
