Re: Stop Start Problem

Hello. Just had to send my F-Type in to get a minor electrical issue fixed. Got it back and the stop start system is no longer working.

Re: Topping up coolant?

I suspect at certain ...

Re: Interior lights on settings?

I'm after a bit of a steer as to how to set the interior lights to come on with opening of the car. When I took delivery this is how they were set up, but something has happened recently that now means the interior lights and puddle lamps do not come on when engine is turned off or doors unlocked. ...

Re: motion sensor de-activation

Sorry I am now confused I thought single locking didn't enable the tilt sensor which is the problem one on a north sea ferry. Just to clarify the handbook states to use the "single locking" mode for ferry trips as this enables some parts of the alarm system, but not the tilt sensor (and s...
