Default No DIS

Most of the dash display on my 8 doesnt work all of a sudden.

I still get warnings at the top. Washer fluid low, low fuel etc but anything red underneath ie all the OBC stuff and gear selection isn't showing.

Anyone any ideas or am I looking at a replacement custer?

Default Made me smile....

....but then again, I didn't find that switch for nearly 6 months, so who am I to laugh... (AND.... same applies to the n/s dipping rear view mirror and the kickdown button)

The DIS, kick down and the fact that the sunroof also tilts up if you press the sunroof dial up are probably the 3 main 'hidden' features that many only discover after having owned an 8 for a little while lol.

Did you know about the tilting sunroof?

The sunroof is an easy one on mine as the dial turns two ways. One way for tilt and one for slide.

Kickdown was found quite quickly having a lead foot.
