VW Touran rear fog light

Golly I'd forgotten that my Touran had those too. I got that turned off at the first service. What an appalling idea they were.

I've had them on a few cars, and found them fine.

I don't know how true this is, but a German colleague told me that it's illegal to give fewer than 3 flashes before a lane change on the Autobahn, which is why VAG have implemented the feature.

On BMWs, you can set them to flash once, or three times.

Are you being dry, again... ;-)

Its worked on the (approx) 9 cars that have had that system I have (so far) driven.

Firmware by Microsoft?

Click on the start button to shut down?

Early Citroen BX, can't beat it. A chunky rocker switch that falls nicely to the finger while turning the wheel both ways.

The amount is configurable, but I can't remember the lower limit.

John Williamson gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Try a CX, especially an s1.

The same part as the BX, as far as I can see.

The self cancelling on my Land Rover doesn't work. Well, not since I adjusted it so the wheel that drives the reset doesn't make contact with the steering wheel any more......

Nope, I can promise you they aren't any better even if you drive one a lot and they are also fitted to late model Astras too.

Well the good new is that a local auto electrician fixed it for = =A338.50. Apperently just a dodgy plug that needed to be replaced but I = can't work out where.

Whatever, it seems to be fixed which is a relief.

I was out for a drive today when the fecking bulb failure light came on again. I was not a happy man! I thought lots of evil thoughts about the shysters who cocked up the repair yesterday.

Needless to say, when I pulled over to check my lights it was a completely different bulb that had blown. Silent apologies mumbled in the direction of the repairers... ;-)
