OK, so it's not as simple as having the cut-outs = having the washers. I've got the cut outs, but no matter how much windscreen washing I do, the headlight washers do not pop out. I can't (easily - I'm not going to try to force them!) pry them out as I could with my XC60 either. So I don't think I have the washers.... :(

Usually, your headlights have to be on.

will try that.... The XC60 wasted water even when the lights were off, so that could be an improvement!

Yep, you're right! Lights on, it works! Fab, thanks! :D Though £350 would have been nicer.... :D Only the wheels different on mines then.

Comparing the seats with the configurator, looks like I've got the R-Design ones, though not sure what they would have been fitted with if it wasn't those... anyone know?

Not sure about this R-Design seat difference issue. Urban myth? Can anyone explain what the problem seems to be?

Interesting, having had a look at the original price and spec list I had, there was no mention of the 20" wheels - only 19" on FE. So I guess I've got exactly the spec I thought I was getting! Phew! Will give them a ring about the economy and sensor calibration tomorrow though

There was a no cost option on the FE to upgrade from 19" standard to 20".....

Yeh, I'm guessing because I was so late to the party, I didn't get a choice...?
