If you hold the button on the end of the stalk when you turn on the ignition for the 'secret calibration menu' what does it do?

Brake lights should work regardless of the third one not being attached. Earth/fuse/relay.

Was gonna be my next shout.

It could be that when removing the spoiler you've pulled at the cabling. Remove the little grommet and have a look, or pop down the headlining although i'm not really sure what there is to see. You sure the battery is OK? You could have a look behind the bottom trim in your boot at the earths...

Very odd. I didn't have any problems myself mate! Plug your brake light back in and see if it makes a difference, what was that electrical tape hiding? Did you disconnect the neg terminal at all? Check that the earth nut on that is securely fastened. You got a picture of the connector that you...

Measure that spacing.

I realised when typing it had been repainted but wanted to eat my tea so submitted it haha.

Called it. Looks to have been off before as that electrical tape isn't normal. Was it just the normal connector underneath that?

Isn't it the same as the one in the glovebox? Swap them round for a simple test.

Just get it back for the principle more than anything. It'll easily sell if you don't want to fix it. Best of luck with everything.

Those alloys aren't a totally standard colour ;) Looked very clean though. You going to get the car back?

I don't think they were together, but they just happened to be 2 cars away from one another. Neither looked in great condition tbh.

Two 172's just near my house whilst I was walking up the road. Guy in the silver one stopped and got out, but didn't seem like he really wanted to talk.

The roads near the huntsman are fairly bouncy but they're OK. Some nice roads going on holmfirth road/ Meltham way.

I presume you'll be removing the brake light too. Do this from behind with a pen through the hole. I just have images of you cracking it by using a knife/screwdriver.

Top tip, to avoid scraping anything put a microfiber cloth under the area where the boot opens/edge of the roof. Then with the boot up all the way remove all the screws. Then you can easily pivot the spoiler to unclip the hose/plug and lift it out. Just be careful if you do lower the bootlid as...

Under the cup spoiler are some 'holes' but I'm pretty sure there's nothing underneath that would get damaged. What I did was tape up the holes, and wrap up the cup spoiler cabling in some tape and fastened it down so it wasn't flying about. I wasn't driving the car, but just wanted to avoid it...

Well I'm an idiot. If anyone else experiences this problem, make sure you've not used the LED live as your ground. All sorted now! Won't make the same mistake again.

We have an S40 sat on the driveway if you're interested. Although @leeds_182 is closer. Think the sills are pretty dodgy on it now but was very well looked after when it was on the road!

Anyone got any ideas on this?

My mum loves volvos too.

Maybe you broke two things

That's a brilliant video. Looks like great fun along the welsh roads, shame i dont have a trophy!

Cheers all! Yeah it's great going from a 1.2, to a 182. Think I need to get the 98 ron map on it as it's got quite a big 5k kick. I had been told this had been done, but i was also told by a PO it had cams, when I dont think it does... (Not by the PO who sold me it, by the one before that)...

Got a multimeter on the usb and with lights off i get 5v, then with the lights on i get 0v. I only tapped into the 12v sources on the cigarette lighter but i'm now thinking it maybe associated to the power going to the bulb of the lighter now it's not attached. Who knows! Checked the battery and...

The reservoir cap off? Piston doesn't look like its wound in

Quite liked the yellow on the pillars! But that looks really good too in the carbon.

Really great pictures! Car looks stunning against that backdrop. That on the cooksports in those last photos?

Been out again today, and the power is definitely being cutoff even when the sidelights are turned on. Really odd! It's not like it's not drawing enough power, it's like it's not drawing any at all. I'll get a multimeter on it later, but it's very odd!
