hi there just thought i would say hello,

i have just brought a stype 2.5 sport v6 auto with 73.000 miles on 53 plate,

i absolutely love it, been my dream to own one,

when i brought it the salesman said not to fill up with supermarket fuel it knackers the ecu( i dont normally anyway) but is that right or just pulling my leg?

i loved the car and just had to buy it but i may have jumped a bit early as now had good look round it. theres a few things not sure are right might be me and need to get use to auto,

at about 40mph the auto seems to hop along rather than smooth like the other speeds.

mean trying to power up like rev up to change gear, is this ok?

Welcome to the forum,

You should post in the S Type section to get opinions on your transmission.

Good to hear that you are enjoying the car so far.

Welcome to the forum.

Did the sales chappy also have a petrol pump on the forecourt?

As per Norri, head out to the S Type section.
