ok,its taken nearly 6 weeks of ownership, but I've finally found I have folding mirrors and a rear sun blind
Is there any other secrets hiding around the car which I havnt found yet?

Got a CD changer in the boot? Everyone seems to miss that...

He he, just found a first aid kit. I think it must be the original as everything has a manufacture date of 2001 on it !!!! I found the CD changer but I think the time machine thing is buggered, because all I get at 88mph is blue flashing lights in the mirror

My son had to tell me last week that there's a courtesy light over the back seats. I've had the 406 since November...
My excuse? I've never been back there

No first aid kits but my D9's got a jenuwine Pug warning trangle
I know what else - there's a hook on the petrol flap for the cap to save you leaving it behind on the pump

I don't have that! I get a beep when I jam it on in motion, but no text... that I've noticed anyway
The D8 just has the little dash light

I haven't looked in the parcel shelf hidey hole in my coop yet (if there is one of course...)
I'll look when I can bring myself to clean the back window (which is disgustingly filthy, but not so easy to get at)
