:-) that prob went away of its own accord, yesterday the courtesy light was flashing. Is the c3 known for such little eccentricities? Who knows what oddity tomorrow will find?

Hi all I suddenly discover my lights are on all the time. When the ignition is off it's happily off, sidelights and main lights on the three switch positions But with the engine running it's main lights, sidelights and main lights Have I upset some strange Volvo Lights on All the Time setting? Or is there a short somewhere? Any advice appreciated Thanks

Hi, only had it three weeks and already lost a wheel trim. Anyone know a reliable source? Many thanks. (Yes I've bought some cable ties, but too late!)

many thanks again for the info. My old car radio magically set the time from satellites or radio signals and I guessed this radio would do the same. However, jiggled it and no prob. Thanks again

btw another query. I was a bit surprised that the clock didn't change to GMT, it's a manual digital clock!! At one point when fiddling about in that area I swear the screen told me I had 160 miles left in the tank. I've not been able to get this info back, and maybe I dreamed it. Do you get any sort of warning about a low tank. The illuminated bars on the dash aren't very precise. Any idea how much is left when there's only one bar? Thanks

very kind of you cheers, sorts out some of the mysteries. Thanks

Hi all, had my C3 about a fortnight and still not discovered the use of one or two knobs and buttons. Best to know in advance if you're activating the passenger ejector seat. Could anyone advise please? btw its (I think) 2003, petrol automatic 1. There's a switch on the very far edge of the instrument board, it's inaccessible when the door is closed. It says on or off and you change it with a coin or screwdriver... At the mo it's on but who knows what it's doing? 2. There's a button on the end of the lever that has all the lights switches on it, doesn't seem to do a lot 3. There are buttons on the gearstick plate, one has S on it, the other has a 5 pointed asterisk 4 To the right of the radio there are two buttons (of the set of three, one blanked off) the top one has a picture of a chap beside a key and a circle round him. I thought this would be central locking but there's a big button under the hazard button that does that 5 The other of the two buttons has a picture of a speedometer with radio waves coming off it. Is this a You're Speeding warning? And then there's the heater but I've never understood the heater in any of my cars so not particularly bothered. TIA for your advice Jon
