Thanks both - I'll check those out. I checked for leaves a few weeks ago and found none but will look again (and check the boot!)

I've had a couple of odd issues with my QP lately - would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on them! Twice in the last fortnight the dash has given me the dreaded beeps and a message stating 'Brake Fluid level low' when I start up. After a few minutes of driving it goes away (I checked...

Saw a blue 2005 QP - the exact same model, colour and year as mine - in Twickenham on Monday! We both spotted each other and my jaw hit the floor. What are the odds?

Feedback from the garage is that the clutch needed reprogramming (so, a computer error)! Hoping that it's sorted...

I was having a lovely holiday 'up North,' when the QP decided to throw up some 'Transmission Failure' lights and, sure enough, I couldn't change gear for a few minutes. The problem went away until one day, when it occurred four times - the final being when I was in 5th gear and had to pull...

Thanks all! A few niggles to be sorted but it's been an absolute pleasure to drive. Had a funny moment on Jersey when a petrol station manager gave me some advice about speeding and the police on the island ("They'd love to catch you in one of THOSE!") One thing that's surprised me is just how...

It did the first time (on the ferry) but didn't seem to at all just now. I'm going to try it now and see what happens.

I'm assuming the car puts itself into gear to avoid rolling? When I stop, I flick the paddles towards me to put it in neutral - should I be leaving it in 1st gear? Or should it be 1st gear for uphill and Reverse gear for downhill slopes?

Had a couple of scary moments with the QP (and this is the first time I've driven an auto/semi-auto). First off, on a ferry and positioned very tightly and on a downward slope. I engaged the handbrake, switched off the engine and when I took my foot off the brake pedal the car lurched a good...

Ah, I have a lot to learn about this car - I didn't even realise the lights were auto!

Might seem like an odd question but... I've only just started driving my '05 QP and I see the switch/dial to turn on the headlights, but is there a way to turn them on using any of the control sticks off the steering column (other than just flashing the high beams)?

Thank you - it stood out as one of the nicer colours that I'd seen. I love how the car looks - it's a beautiful machine but somehow understated.

So - my car arrived yesterday and I had a very enjoyable drive down to the coast for an hour and a half :) It needs a few things attending to, which the dealer is going to sort out when I take it back in a couple of weeks but my word... the drive! I had it in manual (not a fan of fully...

Thanks all - I'll post pics as soon as I get the QP. Gives me the perfect excuse for a drive out to the country to find a suitable spot for the photos!

Thank you Dave - I'll keep that in mind!
