I would advise to get forscan. Very handy tool.

Overall I'm impressed with my dw10c smax. Nice to drive, the only thing that lets it down is the stereo.
You need to push the DSP button and scroll through the settings. I thought it meant display, but it's digital sound processing

How old do I feel?

I clearly remember* attending an internal Ford preview of a pre-pre-production S-Max, when they still couldn't decide if that's what they were going to call it, come launch.

The rear seats were on electric rails :shock:

* yes, I remember that, but not what I did last week :roll
