Due to pick up my Inscription this Thursday,! I'm pulling together a checklist to go through on collection. I've gleaned a few items from this forum but wondered if anybody who has already taken delivery can make any suggestions based on their experiences.

Check whether the rubber vanes in the cupholders are in place, mine were missing and I didnt realise for a couple of days.

You can only fully check the lighting in the dark, and there is no dipstick for the oil level it’s a sensor. It will take you hours to go thorough every function and drive mode. Happy motoring

I hadn't seen that thread - very helpful thank you. Thanks for other inputs as well!

Hi guys. I have 1 coat hook and three headline recesses for attachments (two of which I'm using for the rear seat cargo net divider attachment at the mo as my dog guard is on back order). Am I right thinking there should be either coat hooks or a mixture of coat hooks and blind covers over the other three headline recess areas? I wish now I'd gone over the check list in this thread during handover because it's not the first thing I would think of, thanks.

I’ve only got one coat hook, drivers side. Don’t think they put one passenger side as anything hanging would obscure the window vision.

It's the same in my Inscription as well. I hadn't realised until checking that today that there aren't any grab handles for rear seat passengers, I've always had them in other cars and use them to hang up suit carriers and the like, it doesn't look to me that the weedy coat hook provided would take the weight.

make sure you check and double check the tailgate alignment...

see my thread, my dealership now have 4 cars where the tailgate has very different panel gaps from one side to the other.

Thanks guys so to recap if you only have one coat hook like mine you have 3 remaining headline recess anchor points left open. I guess they are not too prominent but a little surprised the 3 remaining headline anchor points don't have covers.

Teecee, your alignment thread was the first thing I checked on handover and I'm pleased to say all my panel gaps are Ok :)
