1. When the indicators automatically cancel it tends to flick the opposite indicator on for a quick flash.

I've noticed this a couple of times but it's not regular and only happens when coming off a right turn.

Yeah it doesn't happen to me all the time either, I find it annoying cos I find it annoying when I'm following a car that does it.

Anyway back to the floor mats. I actually found 2 holes for my hooks haha!!

Before:

Hooks:

See the holes?

All done!

One little thing has annoyed me on my car: After removing the key, and before opening the door, I can close the windows, but not the sunroof. Grrr :mad:

The picture of your mats explains something to me that I was puzzled about in another thread sometime ago. Apart from your hooks beimg completely different to ours, you mats are much better quality! On the new UK sourced mats there is no heel reinforcement area.

Yes, having the heel reinforcement area is a must!

when i get in the car i get the courtesy light, but when i stop the car i don't get the courtesy light.
i'd rather have the courtesy light when i stop....its really frustrating.


on a side note my led light in the boot is great!  :D

No light even if you take the key out?

Sounds odd, my courtesy lights comes on when you open the door and remains on for a set period if you don't lock it, but dims to off if you lock the door...............

This might sound basic, but are we talking about the roof mounted light and if so, has snowcherry got the three way switch in the right place?

No

the light does come on once you open the door but i need the light before i open the door. reason is mosquitos - its central queensland and we have heaps of them so i can't open the door until i'm ready to.

obviously the answer is turn the light on myself, which i do, but essentially by the time the courtesy light does come on when i've opened the door i no longer need it. sometimes when i turn the light on manually i then forget to turn it off, or i'm overladen with everything i just picked up and think "crap now i have to turn the light off i wish it will turn off by itself".

Had a play around this morning when I got to work, if you just pull the door lever without exerting pressure to open the door, it will open to the "first stop", ie not be open but in the same position as when you close the door gently and does not close fully, allowing the interior lights to come on without the door actually being open.  Hope this helps snow :razz: :razz:

2. My unlock button doesn't always want to unlock until I press it a few times, dealer couldn't fault it and reprogrammed it but still have the issue. Spare key works fine.
Back on this point...are you supposed to have to hold down the unlock button for a second or two or is it supposed to be instant?

Also another one...the speedo area should light up even with lights off cos sometimes I can't see in there and it's bright outside! My mates outlander does it...it's a great idea.

Lock/unlock are both instant, only the hatch button needs held for 2 secs.

Not really a problem with the car but.........

I hate the filthy dirty smelly diesel pumps at the service station.  I have wet ones in my glove box but even they are not enough with some pumps.   :mad: :mad:

I have moist wipes in my glovebox for this reason too.. Just recently the Caltex (Woolies) garage has installed an antibacterial hand cleaner dispenser on their driveway for this reason... Great idea !

Oh yes. I've noticed that. Hadn't got around to trying to clean it though.

Edit. I just tried some armourall. It's removed all but the most severe mark.
Anyone got a suggestion for the tough stuff?

I don't think those other ones will come out as they are the little bumps on the lining that have been basicaly cut/grinded/filed.
Also I don't think Amourall removed it, more like covered it up..

Hey Mutley, I think you should give me a little bit more credit for my powers of observation. :eek:
