Oh no GiantStu - too late - I pick it up this afternoon. I hate to say it, but I hope you got a "Friday" car and mine is alright.
Reviews I have read seem quite good and the motoring rags that have had one on long term test drives (30k miles plus) haven't said much about reliability or faults.
As the one I am buying is 18 months old I hope that any faults that there have been have been worked out of the system already. I guess I always have the comfort of knowing it still has 18 months manufacturers warranty on it.
I hope your liking the Alhambra..
Our Sharan's are company cars, we have 440 of them on our fleet and the fleet manager is disappointed with them on the overall reliability.
Mine will be 2 year old in September (now at 76k)and has had various issues, the biggest been the fact the engine will just stop...... at various speeds, when i say stop, i mean dead as if the ignition has been turned off, no power steering, no servo assisted brakes.
Totally dead!! luckily no steering lock though! sometimes it will restart immediately, others times it won't start for 1/2 hour!!
I had to push the car out of lane 2 of the M1 in the pitch black at 5am a few months back! not good on an unlit stretch in a black car with no lights 
The dealers have had it on diagnostics and no faults show so cant find anything to fix!!
Other problem was there not been any brake pads available in the country for 6 weeks when mine was serviced and had 98% wear. 
( i can do 2000 miles some weeks so brakes tend to be quite beneficial )
I could go on with the list, but dont want to seem so negative!!
On a plus side the sliding side doors are great  and really useful as the boot is always full to the brim with spare parts, tools and other work stuff.
