Morning all. Office bound today.

I did think there would be nothing car related going on, but the missus has just sent me a pic of this, which came up on her dashboard this morning.

I've not got the handbook. Any ideas? It was before she drove it as well. :beat_brick:

Yes she has moved something on the stalk which changes displays from range to mpg to temp etc for the On Board computer. It's not exactly a fault code is it ? If it's driving keep on driving it but keep an eye on the temp :D

Morning. Nose the wheel at the mo, busy, busy, busy.

Strad all cleaned after the Spain trip, moderate stone chipping to the nose, was going to do it anyway. Just have to get her up on the ramp to see what scrapping her on the Garage Privé ramp has done.

Battery reset overnight appears to have fixed the fan, EPB, non hot starting and gear unavailable issues thankfully.

Gear unavailable is clutch failure usually, keep an eye on it.

I am still in Hilversum and it is a lovely town from what I have seen so far. Some stunning houses and lovely restaurants. Last day onsite then I'm flying back in the morning.

Clutch never missed a beat but yes, Ill keep an eye on it.

Mileage 24k with 30% wear.

Athol had the same and was told it was the clutch, replaced the battery and it never came back.

His Strad is about 10k miles and 50% wear...the good old CPS guessing game.

Spot on Phil. She had just changed to a display she had not seen before.
I didn't know either as it's completely different to my E Class.

Morning forum. Gym, breakfast, additional coffee.

21 years married today. Most of them have been pretty bloody good as well :D

Have fun everyone, I'm going to jump in the pool!

Congrats Mr & Mrs C, presently sat in the eurotunnel terminal as we got here far too early, managed to bump an hour earlier but any more and they wanted £84 which was more than the crossing in the first place.

Ending an epic journey, the car has been faultless, just the numpty driving it that revered into a projecting kerb in the hotel car park this morning and took a 10p sized chunk of paint off the rim! (Angry emogee).

Good Morning Everyone, Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Catman, and well it's a Friday and I'm working the weekend. Still at least no-one to bother me so I can catch up on the emails and other things that I missed whilst away.

Have fun and finish early.

Good morning all,

Boys reunion bash in London today @ https://jwsteakhouse.co.uk

Biggest challenge will be deciding whether to have Bourbon Peppercorn, Port & Stilton, or Horseradish sauce on my steak, and which Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to have next...

Hope you all have fun!
