Thanks for the response .
The battery drain was one of the things the car went in for, it has been doing it for ages and I thought it was something to do with water ingress in the front scuttle, which 4rings sorted for me. So now with a new battery connected they sourced the drain to the radio. Although I have asked them to double check as the prev owner retro fitted a Nokia hands free kit so thought it my be something to do with that.
If they are right on the radio head unit, then I was going to upgrade to a more moder touch screen so was looking to know if others had fitted any ?
On the dash, this has 'appeared' since being at 4rings...apparently the car now starts as the fuel pump has been sorted but then quickly cuts out. Let me ask them tomorrow about the 'reader coil'
If the instrument panel is duff, can it be replaced? As it happens some of the pixels had gone anyway and so it would fix that also...
Thanks
