The first day

Today was the first day I've used my "new" XM despite it being about 6 weeks since I bought it. It's been parked on the drive awaiting the V5 from Swansea so that I could tax it. However Swansea knew nothing about the car so I've had to pay the £25 for a replacement. :evil:

It's first duty was a trip to the local tip laden with junk, first thing I noticed was the ABS light on :x but that went off after a few start and stops of the engine and hasn't been on since. I also noticed the car has a bad habit of unlocking itself, then tonight was the first time I've driven it at night, NO PANEL LIGHTS! at all. :evil:

So nothing major but could be an interesting Saturday looking at some of these issues. :)

The green one? I recall it looks like a nice car!

Give the dimmer switch in the kneepad area a gentle wobble as one of mine is an
all or nothing contact!!! Well at least I think it's the kneepad area, maybe it's a
Xantia I'm thinking of, it all makes more sense in front of me!! :D :roll:

The panel light dimmer is above your right knee, i think.

Its more likely to be a faulty switch or fuse if they are all out.

Hi folks,

I hope no one minds, but I moved the 'Central locking' section of this discussion over to the electrical section and merged it in with Ken's new thread, as it was becoming technical :)
