Hi guys, got what i think is a problem and its pretty strange!
When i get in the car and turn on the ignition (this does not happene every time by the way just ocassionally) the dials will do a lil jig and the hazards go on and the doors all lock???
Any ideas?
Thanks
Kim

My dials do this too but usually after a couple of minutes driving they all drop back to rest then spring back into life!! also noticed that headlights blink when changing gear, especially after being sat for 12 hours or so on nightshift

| If in doubt, drop a cog and put your foot down | |
