Might as well turn the lights off when the headlight washers deploy at night anyways, the few seconds of blackout always amuse me when I'm driving back along the few country roads back from my GFs at night :lol:

My car sometimes tells me it needs a service in 300 miles (which it doesn't). It doesn't come up on the MFD every time I start up, just when its been left in the cold for a long time. It's booked in to be looked at after xmas

Just for reference, it is opened as illustrated here. Its not in this fuse box that you need to access.

You will need to put a flat blade screw driver or car key in the slot where the green arrow shows. Lever off and all will be revealed.

Its fuse SC36 in the dash fuse box located behind the driver's side end panel. Its a yellow 20A fuse. Third row up, fifth fuse from the front end of the car.

The only winter problem I’ve seen this week is rapid steering wheel movement when I press the loud peddle. Resolved by an ear to ear grin :nod:
