    Manually getting rid of you're dim messages

    On my s60 I haven't had it long so I'm learning about it, some of you longer term owners might know, is there a way to reset or delete messages, without having to use dice and vida. I'm going to be getting a dice soon but in the meantime.

And I had my first casualty tonight down the back lanes from paignton to newton abbot my wing mirror glass has broken replacement on its way.

    only way of getting rid of a bulb failure warning is to change the bulb mate

    Nightbreakers are good but don't last long I found.

    As far as I'm ware, you can check the DTC messages, but can't erase without Vida.



    Alternatively, you may disconnect the battery & touch the positive and negative as follows:
    Once the ignition key is out, your can start disconnecting the battery cables.
    Disconnect the negative first and then the positive, now, as some modules are still powered for few mins once you take out the key (& lock the car)! you'll need to wait 3-5 mins before the next step: touch the cablesfor 10 sec, then bolt the cables back (positive first, then negative).
    Alternatively, just disconnect the battery cables and leave it for min 30 mins disconnected.

    Again, if you do want to touch the cables together, make sure you wait 3-5 mins once the cables are disconnected to ensure none of the modules are still powered.

    Just to add to the above...

    When reconnecting the battery on a p2, ALWAYS have the ignition in position 2.
    There has been a few instances where all the airbags have deployed when reconnecting the battery. Position 2 prevents this happening.

    Not a lot of difference in the pic but in real life you may see a difference I will keep an eye out for the blue beast maybe on my travels I might see you. I have a mate who lives in high week but he's no longer got his 400 a black Lexus he's driving round in now
