  1. Ive tired to reset it by doing the trip reset button, turn on ignition, release button and turn off ignition, but it isnt working. Any ideas? Ive followed the guide and i did it last year and all was well. Nothing changed this year.
  2. Only one on my Arosa and thats fine. It had been strange before and had stopped working for a week but then did start back again and had been fine. Which made me think it could be a loose wire and it got knocked or something but im pretty sure it didnt get a knock when it stopped working this time as i was sat waiting for a gate to be opened.
  3. My horn has stopped working, which isnt nice when you come to use it. I think it stopped working when i was getting the attention of the security man at work to open the gates. I honked a few times then it stopped. Horn looks to be in good condition, i have taken the bit of grill off infront to see it. Wires still attached and they seem to be in good condition. Im wanting to get the horn off, do i undo the one behind the horn that attaches on a small bracket, or the one you can see? Ive tried pulling the wires off so i can see if theres any power going to the horn but they seem to be stuck on well. Any ideas?
  4. You could have saved on the load equalisers and hidden a bulb somewhere thats in line with the LED's. Heard the tip from a lorry driver who had the problem with some LED indicators he had. Put in a bulb in line and tooked away so you couldnt see it and it saved the need for anything else and was simple.
  5. There is, he has said hes blown up his headunit. There must be a voltage going somewhere it shouldnt. You need to get a multimeter on it and test the wires and see what is happening there. There should only be two wires(i think?) that should have a live feed which are ignition(only be power when car is on) and a main live which has power all the time. The voltages will vary with readings, quite often you will get something like 13.8V, it can be around 12V really. Check it with the car on and alter the revs to see if there is any more power going to the headunit. How have you tested the headunits have blown? That they havent come on or they have gone bang and theres been smoke? Normally a fuse would kick in before but not always. My dad once plugged in a 12v radio into his truck and it went bang and smoked a little. You need to really get it plugged in somewhere else to see if it will come on. Get yourself a multimeter. They have uses in other places aswell so are useful to have.
  6. Looks alright i think. Not sure about the lights though. How about doing the mirror covers in black? If someone could photoshop it to see how it would look. A glossy black maybe? I like black roof but i think they look better when there is a spoiler on the back.
  7. Bike chain. Also got a swiss army knife on there
  8. Doing that would result in no bonus's, so what do you think? We have a decent number of caravans and motorhomes being despatched per day at the moment.
  9. I sell the accesories to caravanners and motorhomers. But the place that i work sells caravans and motorhomes.
  10. If i were you id ask to see what checks are meant to be made before a car is bought and allowed to be taken onto a road. By the sounds of it a dealer has let you drive a car off that isnt allowed on the road. At work a caravan is not allowed to go off without all working lights and a proper number plate, not just a paper one. Motorhomes are the same. Im not sure if its company policy or that it has to be like that. Get some advice on it and try and get back the amount owed plus the amount of tax you thought you had remaining. I would, seen as that is what you expected to have on the car.
  11. If they haven't sold mate, shoot me a PM
  12. Where did you get the wind deflectors from? Do they fit the Arosa Mk2 aswell. Car looking nice
  13. Shove your hand up the side of the dash on the drivers side. The bit that's by the floor. The wire for the socket runs along there. You can grab hold of it and pull it down. There's 3 wires going to it and a connection box. If I was you I'd check that there's power going to the cig plug there first. If there is then you know there's a fault with the cig plug itself. If there isn't then there's a problem somewhere else. The 3 wires are: Neutral Live Live for the light on the plug. Which only works when you have your lights on. Whether there's a second fuse somewhere I don't know. There could be one on the wires which I've just told you to grab by the connector. Its a bit of a fiddle to get to but they are there.
