Not today, but yesterday, switched the car on first thing and a number off warning lights stayed illuminated. :blink:
Notably power steering, esp and tyre pressure! Turned off and on again, power steering light went out but other two stayed on for about 1 minute and then went out and have stayed out!

It was very wet yesterday morning, I don’t think my car likes getting wet!

I'm pretty sure those three warning symbols illuminate if the power has been disconnected for a period of time.

I haven’t had the battery disconnected for sure. It’s been fine since. Putting it down to “just one of those things”.

Power steering died in my Ibiza mk4 once, for half hour. Turned off and then on again and it was fine and never happened again.

Neighbours been cutting paving slabs all morning whilst I've been out in the wife's car and now the car is covered in dust... Do people not think of what their actions do...

:censored: sake. Reminds me when my neighbours decided to burn a rainforest worth of paper. My driveway looked like nuclear winter the next morning.

Drove 10 miles on the pizza cutter space saver as something nicked the inside sidewall of one of my front pilot sport 4s tires while still having 5mm tread left :censored:

Was going along a short stretch of road about to be resurfaced doing under 30 and no signs for raised ironworks

Lost the locking wheel nut in the dark after putting the pizza wheel on as well :censored:

I lost my locking wheel nut for my focus the other week , went to ford for a replacement and they quoted 215 to remove and supply new nuts surely yours are aftermarket and you can smash a socket over them to get them off

It's the round seat ones so can't do that and don't want to risk damaging the OEM 19" wheels still on

I don't think I can as it's not a pothole as such but raised ironworks as the surface was stripped.

Hole is the size of a couple of pencil leads at most but sidewall meaning the tyre is toast
Same thing......just claim....they contracted the work....I lost a gear due to a missing "ramp" road sign....you have nothing to lose

Hoping the locking nut is still in the layby as it's not small and just off the road .Murphy's law states they will have put the new road surface down tonight and couldn't take pics in the dark of the road. Took a wheel pic when I took it off

Still bedding the helix clutch in. AKS recommend doing 5-600 miles of gear changes. I'm finding it difficult to do without giving it boost.

Today I'll be looking at swapping over to AKS gear link bushes.

Also booked her in to have the cam chain tensioner done.
