There is no light on the dash, it's only on the new MFD. I wonder what the beep is if it isn't the ABS. Is there any way of getting it stopped, maybe a system reset or something?
Does your car actually have ABS fitted?

Whats the part number for a double line display and can it be fitted to a 2003 1.4 GLX?
#34: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:15 am ---- PPT-40 is just the connector for a multiplexed MFD
#35: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:21 am ---- So I take it that there isn't a double line display that'll fit my car then?

You need a PPT 40 - 3 line display, got one in my 03 plate GLX.
#37: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:28 am ---- My display says PPT-40 on it but Lee says thats just for the connector, so there must be a 2 line display that'll fit then. Ebay here I come.

That is correct, PPT 40 is just the connector plug.
My original single line display had PPT 40 on it, my replacement 3 line display also had PPT 40 on it

I read somewhere you need a button on a stalk to change the display, my wiper has a button that sets the lights and wipers to auto but will it change the display?

Not unless the original com has been changed.
Will be << on the end of the wiper stalk for trip computer, you can on some com units remove the end of the wiper stalk & you should find the little switch is hidden inside, you then just have to get another com end with the push button fitted.
#41: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:49 am ---- The original COM was replaced earlier this year but I think the new one has << on the wiper end, Ill check tomorrow. I think getting a 3 line display could be a non starter though, sounds like its getting too complicated.
Thanks again.

Display just plugs straight in & works.
If you want the trip computer features working to, thats when you need the extra button on wiper stalk.
#43: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:45 pm ---- 03 plate 1.4 lx, i must only have the single line display, however im positive there is a button already on my wiper stalk so hopefully it should be pretty straightforward if i decide to change it but before i do can somebody that has a 2 or 3 line display stick a pic up for me to see if i think its worthwhile, be greatly appreciated cheers.
#44: Re: Single beep from car when starting up Author: PaddyC, Location: IrelandPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:55 pm ---- I am not sure if mine has ABS fitted but I'm sort of sure it does, how can I check?
I have taken the push button of the auto lights stalk and put it on the other one for the wipers so now can change the display to show whatever I want, and I put the non push one on the light stalk. I then reset the whole thing by holding in the button on the wiper stalk for 3 seconds. Since then, I have not had the beep for the ABS fault and my lights and central locking have been working perfectly since. Typical, I also ordered the newCom Unit but may not even need it! Might as well fit it anyway!
