Thanks guys.
I have it in for a service tomorrow, so will have a look later in the week when I get the chance. Hope to find out how good (or not) a condition things are in tomorrow. Six weeks in and I'm still loving the car, so hoping my bubble isn't burst tomorrow :o
Only 2 things I want them to have a look at.....the whine on acceleration (hence my interest in this post) and what can best be described as notchiness on the steering when applying full lock just after start up when pulling away. Hoping this second problem is something as simple as air in the power steering system or fluid just needing replacing.
Other little problem related to engine warning light coming on a couple of times when I've used the heated seats.....goes off again for the next journey, so assuming that they are pulling too much current or something
