Collected New Car Today

[Bob-T]

Collected new car today with just 22 miles on the clock. I'm absolutely delighted with it. So much nicer than my ex Vauxhall Agila. More comfortable, better equipped and with 400 cc's extra it's obviously more powerful. Decent clarion radio/CD sounds reasonably good. All I have to do is work out the lights which seem a little complicated. <_<

bob-dont worry about the lights-they are like trying to undo those button jeans when you are use to a zip-it takes time but dont hurry it as you could end up "in a pickle"

Got it sorted, thanks. It was the fog lights that got me stumped for a short while.

I will go back to the dealer though as I'm sure he said that the wipers would be automatic and that the lights could be made to come on when the weather got murky. So far I can't get it to do that. The book says to switch ignition to "accessory" and press the light stalk in until a gong is heard to enable or disable the function.

Bob,

If it can do either of those things then that's a new feature which isn't on the 04 plate models.

Having said that, it's got multiplex wiring so these kind of upgrades are easily possible.

cheers

I misheard apparently. I went to the dealer's and the salesman categorically denied having said that the lights and wipers would come on automatically when the weather warranted it. So he must be right, he's a salesman after all. <_<

Rear wiper always comes on automatically if it's raining and I start reversing.

I remembered him telling me that if the wipers were on then the rear wiper would come on automatically when reverse gear was engaged.
