Thanks especially to those who have given advice on tyre pressures. I now think that 1.7 bar is a fairly good compromise. My main concern as far as tyres are concerned is that, even though my driving is mostly on dry roads, it will probably take a great deal of effort to wear out the Contis!
My dealer, when showing me around the car, remarked that he saw no value in the lever to adjust the steering column angle. I have now discovered its value: it facilitates insertion of the ignition key.
Bravo to whoever designed the 'Easy-Up' hood - very clever piece of engineering.It requires a bit of 'running in', however.
I have long thought that one likes a car despite its faults or hates it despite its virtues. The more I drive the 4/4, the more I like it - and it is not as if it is without faults.
