This is the keys and the alarm/immobiliser set. Different to the ones on the test drive cars in September (the press cars from July).

The alarm box is a LOT larger. IN fact, bleeding uncomfortable.

Theres 4 buttons on it.

Top right - lock doors and set alarm (lights flash once)
Bottom right - unlock (lights flast twice)
Top left - press this after you set the alarm/lock. It keeps the main alarm but disables the interior movement sensors. For kids when you lock them in (already used it tonight!) (lights flash 4 times)
Bottom Left - boot release.

You get 2 alarm thingies and 3 keys. The one without the shiny silver mazda logo is the master that you mustn't lose or else can't make another key from it. The other 2 keys are identical.

The Mazda fobs are from the dealer, T W Whites. Not sure if this is what everyone else will get too - dealers name and address stamped on the back
Si
From your pic of the keys (now who else would think of doing that???!!!) it seems they are different from mine. My keyring has "Zoom zoom" etched on the bottom under the Mazda badge, I cant see it on yours. I would go right back for a refund, you were bloody well ripped off.
:D JH

just under 900 miles done.

Heres a pic of oil use - the red lines have been added for clarity. Hopefully they make sense - the middle one showing its still around 5/6 full to the brim (it was just above the max line when I got the car)

No discolouration of the oil...

My C70 only has them on the drivers side. Never really considered it 'cool' though! :p

On the picture showing the position of the washer jets, did anyone else notice anything funny in the background...

Hint: look at the containers
