Sounds more like they've been recalled for something!

Well I wondered that but as NX are transporting them made me wonder whether they are having some update retro-fitted such as stop/start as part of emissions upgrade programme. No doubt we'll hear eventually!

That's what I hear they're all being fitted with the stop start technology as it has shown extremely good fuel economy

I don't need to, I can see the GPS and 4705 is clearly at Walsall with all radio equipment removed ready for me taking it to Dundee.

I suspect the vehicle showing on the radio system as 4705 is actually 4071
