On my 2001 Y C5 SX, the red/green LED on the right of the multi function display is solely to do with the traffic master system. I can't speak for younger models where this might have an alternative use

This is the traffic master light. It'll change to green when you approach or pass one of their transmitters (they used to be blue but may also be green). The "spoken" output can be turned off (as yours probably has if it doesn't make a sound), but it'll still respond to the transmitters. There is an elongated oval button below and to the right of the steering wheel which sets the modes of operation.

Just bought Eolys liquid to top up tank. Came in 1 litre bottles each with 1 bottle of liquid, 1 empty bottle (for spent liquid), 2 hooks, 2 off what look like braided nylon, 1 filling hose and 1 fat hose about 20 cm long. Some people have spoken of 5 litre kits - I wasn't offered this. Each 1 litre kit cost £29.29! The bottle of liquid and filling hose are self explanatory. What are the other bits for? The bottle containing the liquid doesn't feel very squeezy so how does the liquid get out of the bottle. Perhaps the hooks and the braided nylon are to suspend the bottle while gravity does is work. Any ideas on this might be done? The filling hole, I think, sits on the side of the tank just above the aluminium shields and has what appears to be a push fit cap to seal it. Is this correct? I couldn't find any outlet to empty the tank and how does it get "spent" since its only purpose seems to be to get squirted into the exhaust system. It seems a waste to throw away stuff that costs more than a half decent brandy.

I buy the cheapest tyres I can find for my 2.2 HDi. They last much longer than 8k miles, more like 20-30k miles. I think you have a problem. Only inspection will tell whether mechanical fault or driving style is the problem.

You say your note is an abridged version of the split belt cam belt replacement scheme. Is there a fuller version? I'm fast approaching the need to replace mine and I'm game to do it, but rather hesitant as there is no workshop manual available to guide me through what else might need doing to complete the job properly.

Can the auto-wipe function of the windscreen wipers be changed to a simple intermittent system. I'm cheesed off with the things starting to wag like the tail of a demented dog when driving in very light rain and a pure intermittent system is all that is required? Turning the wipers off and pressing the arm for a simple single wipe is not what is required.
