Name of the game these days unfortunately. If you're not fast, you're last. Money talks and commission is all.

original plates now on and i thought whilst i'm at it....remove power cables for sat-nav and camera, which then became remove the Bluetooth kit, empty the rubbish out of it, swap the H7 bulbs back to candles and keep the Phillips Extreme as spares. i then realise the new car has Bi xenons, the Beat has odd japanese H4, the Acadiane bulbs are, well, just weird, another 2 spares for the Caddy.
swapped out the battery for an older one and in a moment of 'naughtiness' didn't do the BSI procedure........and you know what?
car didn't explode in a ball of fire and everything still works, well apart from the bits that don't and why it's going!
then i realise that OH's indicator/steering thingy's need to come off

off for a viewing tomorrow PM so it's looking like the last few days for the X7

the deed has been done.....au revoir X7, bonjour C Max

now just need to sort out things for the For Sale thread which so far seem to be a Lexia 3, diagbox 7. ?, unused Black mats, a spare MAF, parrot CK3100


.......and get the Acadiane back at some point, a whole lot simpler than the X7 assuming the 'tinworm' has kept away

Last post on this thread i promise...
A Cmax isn't 'quite' as comfortable as the X7 but acceptable if i i'd never had one.
I really do miss the armchairs, smooth slushbox ,long range and 'his & hers' 'leccy seats.......
but not the uncertainty long term

Apparently the X7 was spotted by daughter in law on Mway last Saturday so made escape from the crusher

well not quite the last post

the usual EBay ploy, look at something, get diverted.....BMW R m/cycle engines ( to fit the Acadiane, dont ask, another thread from another site ) to 2CV's then C5's out of curiousity.....it's resurfaced finally
