That what i meant by "child protection on the rear windows" :s

I believe the sun roof is option extra (mine hasn't got one, the only thing its missing available at its age)

JBL system been mentioned in Welton's first post. Can't figure the 10 speakers thou (may be a newer version thing) mine is six, sub and tweet at front and two rear parcel.

What about wood effect trim (like around the ash tray)

errrrrmmmm, how about..... that 10 spkr "premium" JBL amped stereo. :P
I know it's sounds good, but i've got 10 speakers :shock: :shock: , where are they all hid then ? - can only think of 4 in the doors , 2 in the dash and maybe 2 in the parcel shelf - but i haven't looked :cheesy:

The book says....

The speakers are situated:
- in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters set into two Mediums for reproduction at the front of the sound image. :?
- in the front doors: two Woofers for reproduction of bass frequencies.
- on the rear parcel shelf: two Tweeters for reproduction of treble at the rear are set into two Elliptical Speakers which are adjusted to reproduce a very wide range of bass and ultra-bass frequencies throughout the whole of the passenger compartment.
So you'd only see six, but they claim there are 10. Sounds like BS to me, but they do make a nice noise! :lol:

auto lights only came after 2001 as pug changed the BSi for a crapper version
and ASR was only an option on the V6 exec or 2.2 HDi (not 100% on that), untill 2004 where it was standard on the SE coupe
