Mine was lovely and warm when I got in this morning thanks to the FBH doing it's job while I get ready for work
It even stopped telling me the washer fluid was low when it was full. Still got the SRS light though

Mine still getting through about a litre of coolant a week. i must sort out the leaky oil cooler. It hd 2 advisories on previous MoTs on "coolant leak from rear of engine" but strangely enough no advisories this year. I suspect dealers' MoT garages turn a blind eye for minor things.

This happened to me a while back at 70mph on the motorway.. Had to sneak in between wagons to get to the hard shoulder... I sat there a little bewildered
turned it off and back on and stomped off down the motorway... I can't only put it down to my worn fip and possible debris inside the throttle control unit on the top of the fip
In cold weather and when I release the accelerator pedal it'll briefly flash the eml on but behaves as it should....

Think I've got a coolant leak somewhere. The level has dropped a couple of cm in a month

One of mine has the MIL flash at times on lift off. The other one has twice in 15 years suffered the total loss of power syndrome although the engine didn't shut down, just stuck at idle and eventually came back. No idea what caused the problem.This happened to me a while back at 70mph on the motorway.. Had to sneak in between wagons to get to the hard shoulder... I sat there a little bewildered

After swapping my fusebox the other day, no more shutoff. Also the EAS has been much happier with only one instance of "random high mode", although I suspect that's one of the height sensors. Trouble is the fault has disappeared when diagnostics resets the ECU to connect !! It does seem the pressure faults & other randomness might have been dodgy 12V feed due to the fusebox issue ?

Yaaay heading home. Temp has finally climbed out of -° to a balmy 0° and the driver's door handlenhas unfrozen. Let's see how long that lasts as I head further into Narnia

If the faut is not there when you connect diagnostics, it's not a hard fault, they do not reset when connecting diagnostics. A dodgy 12 volt supply will certainly cause problems.

Spare blade to use in ignition if the door lock swallows the key? Presume the immobilizer is turned off.Weeellll that was deep deep joyManaged to open doors with some de-icer ......yaay. Well all except driver's door
No biggie , just leaned over and opened from inside. Great. Now we're motoring. Get dog to hospital. One hour later , the driver's door still wont open from outside. Just use the passenger side. Nope some f-wit has parked so close Twiggy couldn't get up the passenger side.
It is then try to move seat back, into recline position. Without the obligatory of trapping my armYaaayyyy finally did that, door open dog in, me in , off we go.
Oh and dont forget I'm using the key in lock, not remote, as remote lost synch years ago and refuses to resynch
So as we are at the bright lights of civilisation I head to a shopping estate. All good so far. Then I put key in lock, the doors unlock, I do the double movement to unlock all doors..............
I'm not playing says the Golden Girl. Instead I am going to open all my windows (it's -3°) AND I am going to steal your key. Ummmm no I don't think so , I replied. Yeah guess who won that argument. The windows are opened wide and key was duly stolen. I can move it to horizontal and millimetres off vertical.So there we were in the freezing fog with all windows open. Thankfully there was a PetsatHome just where I had parked. They kindly allowed us to come in and sit out of the cold.
I phoned the RAC who are as much use as a chocolate fire guard. Their suggestion was to give me a locksmith number. My response " why would I call a locksmith when I have already paid you to rescue and or recover me". Reminding her just how difficult recovery will be for them, as I live in Narnia". To which the response became "we have a vehicle on the way". The text artives. Having been told disabled driver and assistance dog in vehicle, with all windows open in -3° freezing fog, the response time was to be 4hrsIf I didnt have the sense to ask Pets at Home if we could sit in there, my poor dog would have been shivering (whilst wearing my jacket and jumper), and I would have been hypothermic.
RAC
So I phone Gibsons in a panic. Colin suggests trying to get some 3 in 1 down her. Which I duly do. Still no joy. I went back out about 40mins later try again. Rinse and repeat twice more. By which time over 2hrs has passed. I decide to go out and try once more. Mainly because I want to get the dog into proper warmth. We were near the door to keep an eye on the car and her feet were so cold even with borrowed blankets.
So yet again I try to get some 3 in 1 in. I turn the key and bring her back slowly , pushing ever so gently so not snap it. Not on your life says the Golden Girl. At which point I reminded her, I have just spent thousands on you, AND you are the one who will end up at Gibsons. You will be laughed at by Volvo drivers as you head along the road on a recovery vehicle. Your computer will be over-ridden and the windows made to close. Then the boys will put in a salvaged part, and your ignition and keys will no longer belong to you. Oh and you will not come home until the middle of January.
Not sure which bit worked but the next gentle push got her to vertical. Out came the key
In I jumped and with fingers crossed put key in ignition. Vroom vroom went the Golden Girl
At least then you can start and move, even if the key is in the lock. Maybe tether the door key so you don't lose it if the lock then lets go...

Charge it well before you fit it.
