Where do I set my Diff Control for "normal" driving
Can anyone tell me?
I've left it set to the green square and not touched it since I picked it up yesterday.
Got very **** end out coming out of a round-a-bout this afternoon
gave me a shock shall we say! 
What's the best place for a balance similar to what I was used to on MY99 UK car?
Cheers

No the feeling
done the same a few times when i first drove mine 18 months ago
and still do on occasion . But you can get caught out so go up 1 notch maybe 2 this will tighten up the rear only do this in the wet mind you.

Mega,
you want to speak to John Felstead, he put the tech spec on how to use the center diff control on scoobynet (translated version) and as John too has an STi V5 type RA V-Limited you could probably get some tips off him too about the cars habits etc

Mega, the further forward you move it the more the car behaves like a UK model as the transmission moves towards full lock at 50/50 distribution.
I leave mine in green if it is completely dry but move it foward 1 or 2 notches when wet. I'll also vary its position when driving in wet/ wintry conditions and I'm pressing on.

Leave it in the open position (rotary switch fully back, bottom green square on dash). In conditions where the wheels are likely to slip adjust accordingly. If you move the switch up one square on dry tarmac and then forget about it you will find that when you goto park the car or turn off into your driveway/street that the Diff gives off a very unerving noise, when I first did this I though that the clutch have gone or something similar only to realise that I have the Adjuster up one position. You will wear out your diffs pretty quickly if you drive like this a lot so my advice would be to drive about in the open position then when rain comes move it up one position and for snow and ice move it up 2-3 notches, upto yourself. Im not really sure that the adjustable diff serves much of a purpose on the roads, the varying rally terrains would benifit from this though.
Cant wait for snow to give it a good burl
