The dealer has been looking at the car for the six months I have owned it and has done ove half of its 3000 miles. It is there now, awaiting my request for a full refund.
Make sure you test your car on your local roads before you part with your cash.
In the past I owned a '07 Citroen C5 estate with hydropneumatic self levelling suspension which was fantastic (didn't need separate levelling on xenon headlights!), but also a C4 Grand Picasso which had self levelling suspension on rear only (with on board air compressor) which gave a poor ride choppy and I assume that this is similar system to the XC60 option....so that's why I avoided it this time round.
