haha I never want to drive that 107 again. Was hoping to sell it today but the buyer never turned up. yet another time waster. I had considered having a car for work/winter but in the end I thought sod it. I know exactly what you mean with people at work. The amount of stick that I got from the lads at work for rocking up in that 107 was silly. 4.0ltr V8 to 1ltr to 5.0ltr V8 :lol: :lol:

Ohhh also I have a question to anyone with heated seats? Mine seams to be red hot and then cools off quite allot. Even if ii turn it off and back on again it doesn't seem to get as hot. I'm wondering if everyone else's are like this or if its an issue? I've had a quick search in the forum but not found much

Cheers fella, Yeah as soon as I saw these alloys I knew they were the ones for me. I love the fact they look like thin 5 spoke alloys from a distance. I don't think I have ever parked so far away from kerbs in my life :lol: :roll:

Does anyone know if there is an option to see the battery voltage on the dash? I have had a quick search and can't see anything

Basically I'm wondering if my battery is on it's way out. The seat warmers seem to come on really hot then fade off to nothing regardless if I have driven 1 mile or 50 miles and once they have cooled they won't come back on until I have turn the car off for a certain amount of time. Little bit weird. Also I have noticed the start/stop seems to be very erratic (not as bothered about this) even if the temperature outside is warm and again regardless of journey length.

I don't own a trickle charger as I use the car daily and I don't have a multi-meter at home atm as my old man currently has it (Typical)! :roll:

Any help is appreciated :D

No way that i'm aware of to see battery voltage on the dash. I have a little plugin meter that I stick in the 12V power socket. What age is your car (your sig is a little light on detail!)?

Can'r answer your seat heating question as I have the heated and cooled seats which use different technology.

No worries, Thought it was worth asking as my last couple of cars had the voltage in hidden menus.

The car is MY16 and has done 34,000 miles. No idea if the battery has been changed or not. I'll have a look

Did you buy something like this?



Quite a handy thing to have really.

I'm a cheapskate so didn't get USB charging capability, just a plugin volt meter for a couple of quid. :)

Re the heated seats - when I switch mine on the temperature stays pretty constant all the time, no reduction or switching off as you have described.

PS Great looking car & I like your number plate.

Well I got one of these and the voltage looks absolutely find so I doubt the battery is the issue. :?
