Just had to:)

Have you phoned round several dealers to try to get an earlier build slot?

I have Firefox and Windows edge (ie replacement in Windows 10). If one plays up I just switch to the other. Some web sites work best with one and some with the other. Currently no problems with Firefox on PC or Safari on iPad

Extended warranty

How much stuff is really likely to go wrong between years 3 and 5 of ownership in a well engineered car? All of the teething problems should be sorted and that is probably the most reliable period of ownership I suspect. I might be wrong though... hope not!
