I would love to replace the Wife's CW with a new Diesel Tourer when hers gets to 4 years old (next January) if they still don't have a DPF over here but not confident she would let me!

Lucky you, no DPF, You and the Yanks (with their gas guzzlers) go on polluting, while this tiny island has DPF's what a joke,what the hell difference are we going to make. Just another reason to make us spend our money.
You know you want to live in Australia.
I was fine with all the grubs and the kangeroo's knob, but I drew the line when the sick bastards wanted me to drink a can of Fosters.
I was booked in today for replacing the roof bars, but it didn't go as planned (surprise!). New roof bars came unpainted so they painted them, but those attaching hole covers weren't included, and they told me the color code for the bars wasn't available either. As you may guess now, the color in new bars and old hole covers didn't match. Result: problem not solved.Bonus: now I have to drive around umphteen days without those hole covers while waiting them to get painted!

Still waiting for mine to arrive, heard nothing yet, I bet I have the same problem.I put the post on here on Dec 15th, told the garage on 16th Dec. not good service eh !are they identical to the old bars, or have they been modified not to expand so much ?
They just can't do it properly. New rails itself seems to be okay, but are painted to wrong color. Instead of original metallic silver, especially under sunlight it's more like a matte beige without any lacquer coating, which looks like it will absorb any greasy fingerprints.

At last, mine are being fitted tomorrow, they had better be metallic silver like the originals or I am going to be kin mad. I did suggest they may need painting but the service manager said they didn't . for his sake they had better be silver.
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH Guess what, they are kin "BLACK", now they need painting, mat black too,the mechanic says it is undercoat, (1st time ive seen black undercoat)so he took off one of the snap in covers for the roof rack (for a colour match) and told me to re-book it in for next week!bloody useless.
