No. I'd say either the lacquer is too thin to spread around sharp edges or the preparation/priming was inadequate.

Do please let us know the outcome.

Who'd have guessed it? Even though you have explained it the symbol still makes no sense to me.

It looks like the lacquer is lifting. I'd say water is getting in from the edges of the metal where the lacquer is thinnest.

What light? I can't see a light on.

Whether it needs to be serviced is debatable. Given that it is now out of guarantee you have nothing to lose by changing oil and filter. As I am fond of saying, nobody suffered a gearbox failure by changing the oil too often.

How would knowing the fuse locations help? Fuses blow for a reason, so unless you solve the cause first a new fuse will also blow immediately.

Look though this forum and you will find dozens of owners facing the same problem. Few have had a satisfacory resolution.

Sounds like the gas expansion valve is not opening. I don't know how to test or repair it so you may need to visit an aircon specialist.

I believe DAB relies on a separate aerial to FM, so check its connections as a first step.

All's well that ends well, even if a mystery remains.

I am not convinced. The purpose of illuminating every warning lamp initially is to test them and ensure they are working. (It is known in industry as a lamp test function.) If a genuine oil pressure was ever detected how would you know it if the lamp does not work?

Good luck Davie. You deserve it for the effort you put into investigating the fault. I seem to recall reading that crank angle sensor is a common fault.

Do please let us know the outcome.

Did you get to the source of the fault Davie?

How did the new motor work out David?

If it had blown off as a result of excess crankcase pressure there will oil be sprayed around the engine bay. Otherwise...

Whoever does that clearly values his wallet more than his life. I nominate him for a Darwin award.

Bear in mind that remapping might be counted as a modification as far as your insurer is concerned, particularly if the power is increased, so unless you declare the modification the policy may be invalid.

That appears to be a blanking plate to cover the hole where headlamp wipers would be if they were fitted.

Do you have an update for us Sian?

Duplicate topic.

Thanks for letting us know.
