Hi was wondering if anybody else has the same problem as me?
I am unable to select Miles & *C, i can only have Km & *C or Miles & *F
But my work mate also has the same vehicle/year & model and his display
is Miles & *C. Ive gone through the options through the Menu but i am
unable to change it so its either Imperial or Metric.

Why do the 2008 models do this but previous ones dont?

Please has anyone got a fix for this as the main dealer says its impossible to change. Read more

hi all

i have a peugeot 406 rapier, 2001 (y) and 1.8l.

every now and again the speedo stops working, the fuel guage dies, and the whole dash will reset itself as if you turned the key on and off, and you get the oil level indicator and milage to next service on the lcd display. also get random 'brake fluid level low' caption on the radio/clock display and handbrake light flashes!! the interesting thing is that each of these faults appear to have a mind of their own and happen individually, and cannot be replicated! also the trip computer freezes up when the speedo or fuel guage dies!
i have removed the dash and checked the soldering as suggested in other posts.
i have also had garage diagnostic work carried out and they confirmed that the speed and fuel sender units are working but (sods law) they could not replicate the faults!!!!
other posts suggested changing the interface unit but apparently my car doesn't have one!! have also checked all power supplies and all appears ok!

my inckling is that its the dash as this is the only common thing for all the faults. just wondering if anyone else has had any experience similar to this!?!

cheers

Looking for some help on a choice of car for my 81 year old mum, who's recently left hospital with a knackered left leg and severely decreased mobility.

She's now going to need a small automatic, five door car with enough space for a fold-up wheelchair if she eventually needs one. Her current car is a 02 1.0l five door Yaris with 60k on the clock, and she'd like something similar about two years old of a similar size. Ease of getting in and out would be preferable.

Any ideas of a) options for a car, and b) a very ballpark figure on what I could expect in PX for the Yaris?

Thanks in advance! Read more

Hi All,

Anybody know what protocol (i.e. CAN, ISO15765-4 (CAN), ISO14230-4 (KWP2000), ISO9141-2, J1850 VPW) etc that the 66kw ABS Petrol engine - single point injection ECU would talk?

I am after something to read/graph/record/etc the live data (TPS,O2,CKS,etc) from the car. I've looked at VAG-COM but its a little on the expensive side....

Looking at the ELMSCAN 5 products based on the ELM electronics IC.

Cheers,
