When I set it to my settings and turn off the engine for a while, my radio settings reset... but when I turn it off then turn it back on straight away, the radio settings are set to how I set it.
why does it reset when the engine is off for a while? how can I fix this also?
another question is, my clock is working (not radio clock), the clock built, visibility is very poor. I can barely see it... dark orange colou??

Your bulb has gone in your clock mine went not long ago
Bulb cost 25p from local auto spares
Take the top bit of the centre consol of undo the screws and the bulb twists and pulls out the back of the clock unit

red and yellow wires need swapping... sortedddd
need new bulbs for your MFD, cant remember which bulb type but someone will be able to tell you... You can then just put off the centre console and get to them that way!

The screws are torx 20, use the correct size torx bit, using an allen key on torx fixings ruins the screwhead.
As for the red & yellow wire swop, its been covered many times on the forum, its not rocket sicence

Swap them around.
