Could the switch on the key be a little worn out?

This is a chance but you might find a lorry firm that has 24 service and if you slip one of the engineers a pie or even a beer he may supply you with a olive. I only say this as I have a Scania Yard 2 miles on one side and a Volvo place 2miles tuther direction. Any decent car spares place should...

I had posted my settings earlier in the thread but then once you quoted a manual I thought I better quote my source to be on the saferside. I failed to note he wanted D1 settings. My Bad.
