Buying a Twingo GT

[Didge3]

Well I picked up my Twingo GT today
Pleasant drive out of town, got onto some lanes (although unfamiliar, the garage is not local) and the Twingo quickly put me in my place when going round a corner I planted my foot and the turbo just happened to kick in and cause the car to fidget around.
The rest of my drive was mainly motorway but can't really complain, dealt with the miles well, nothing to complain about. After a hour the CD I'd burnt to keep my entertained for the journey stopped playing and the screen just displayed 'TOO HOT' and switched to the radio which was a bit funny but it played the disc again about 5 minutes later.
I have two questions as of yet,
1. Sometimes I can't get the ignition key in very easily, it goes in about half way and then stops and I have to try again, but other times it's perfectly fine :?
2. Where the millage is displayed beneath the speed, shortly after I start the engine it disappears and changes to how many miles till its next service. Can you make it not do this and just show the cars millage or is this fixed?

2. There's a button on the end of the wiper stalk changes it through temp/mileage/trip mileage/miles till service
