Tilt

I think??? (but could be wrong) that if you then put the key in the ignition and turn it on, the alarm will go off, so long as the key has the immobiliser chip. Guess it may differ on different cars also, maybe?

@Scot5 Did your neighbours extension lead have a trip switch on it then???

I was gonna say there may be a sticker on the battery to remove, but as you've tested the battery already.................

Aah, facelift, different to mine....................someone will be able to advise

So, open the handle and slide / prise the covers away from the fitting (directly outwards, away from the bodywork). Good photo's @ashfan

Cannot see any pics bud........

Does your temp gauge behave normally, or does this show overheating??? Do you have coolant in the system and is it to required level???

@YellowDog Swap the drivers one with the passenger one, and fit them back to front............. I do wonder if it is to do with a persons build..........ie, if you have a big back, this will naturally sit you further forward in the seat, meaning that your head is also naturally further forward so the head restraint won't bother a person

'I'm Back'...........Who do you think you are, Arnie, Lol. Welcome back Phil. For some reason I remembered you just the other day whilst reading a thread iirc.............amongst other missed Briskodians...... Probably remembering your sensible advice / replies. I had a 9-3 and it was great, apart from being very sluggish before the turbo kicked in. It was only one year old though........most comfortable car iv'e ever owned. I'm sure you'll update once you get the car. Good luck.

I'm assuming the car wasn't sold through the dealership????????? If the seller (Director???) works there and you only purchased the car locally recently, maybe try contacting him and asking him if he can shed any light on the issue........

Hi and welcome. A bit more information will help us forum members help you. Engine type and code would be good. As for part number, I'm not sure but someone will be able to advise, I'm sure......
