    book symbol

    Sorry to hijack thread. My book symbol always comes on when the heating is turned very high, but never appears when in lower temps. It all works to my knowledge. Any ideas?

    Lights out!

    hippolover, I suspect you may well be a genius. I have always wondered WTF that did and today I happened to be F-ing about with it, in a vein attempt to find out. Well, looks like I did find out! I'll check tomorrow, but I'm sure that's the issue. Many thanks. - Passes hippo a Stella.

    Lights out!

    2001 DSE has decided not to illuminate the dash, centre console, fascia, etc! Thought it may be a fuse, but have not checked as yet. Any info would be great. Many thanks. Happy New Year. - Radio 1 and Stella for me tonight - can't get out.

    A tale of warning...

    What lesson did you learn? That your fuel gage was faulty? Why would the Police be unpleasent to you? And why would it matter that you indirectly........... you "felt like dick" cos you are 1

    Off topic I know but VERY relevant.

    I've got an iPhone 4 and it's so good I did not bother reading the first line of that page.

    Awww the poor luv! She looks rather tasty, and girls like that do silly things. Gotta give her some points for effort, but not application, lol. Very funny.

    Heated seat resistance !

    It's not hard, you can do it. Bit busy with my business manufacturing leather headboards to start jobs like this. I only had some speaker wire to hand when I did mine, all fine.

    Major oil leak

    I replaced the DMF and clutch in my manual DSE and left the transfer box on the gearbox and managed it on my back. I used 3 jacks under the whole lot, one being a transmission Jack. It almost ended up on the floor! But with patience and the use of my brain, I got it back together perfectly. But...

    Heated seat resistance !

    I have repaired my driver seat last year, but wih I'd put a hotter thermostat in as they are not hot enough, so I might buy two and do the passenger and driver again. OK, the break is easy to spot and will be where the heater element goes over a gutter in the seat. The seat base has a front...

    this looks v nice

    It's had paint, the bumpers have been done and the range rover badges are missing from the bonnet! Interior looks really good though, drivers seat looks right for that mileage.

    P38 2.5 diesel, Re-mao or psi box???

    I asked the same question 18 months and 17000 miles ago. Chips vary depending who is doing it, the installer creates the map. PSI boxes are all the same and work very well. I opted for the PSI and never looked back. A P38 diesel in standard form is simply ****e!

    Unreliable P38 Starting

    Have you tried removing the hot start fix you added some time ago to see how it performs? Now you have done all the things you mention, it might be OK without it!

    Get a Fiesta if you can't cope.

    Brake pads change

    Take the wheel off and have a look. As you're experienced with brakes, you'll soon see if you have the correct tools. I've heard very modern costly cars require plugging into dealer machines to reset them for the silliest of reasons, obviously to keep them in business and discourage DIYers. I...

    L322 other fluids/oils to replace?

    Engine flush, complete waste of time. Just warm the oil up and replace it, IF it needs it. Adding new oil before its due is not going to make the engine run better, last longer, more power, make it love you, etc, etc. Yes, gearbox, diffs, transfer boxes all have oil in. Question is, are they...
