Re: Lights behind heater controls
Hi, don't bother trying to pry off those screw caps cause you might scratch your trim, just jab them with the pointed screwdriver and screw the screws out, then remove the caps. You can re-use the caps or just chuck them out. Southernboy replaced his screws with some hex-head screws which he says lo...

Re: 100% clear windscreen
In Tasmania we have no stickers anywhere. You pay your registration and drive off. The trouble comes when you borrow a friends car and it is out of registration - you can get done by the police as it is the driver's responsibility to make sure a car is registered. Bottom line, try not to borrow anyo...

Oil and other fluid changes for my car will be manually scheduled.
I have not had to do an oil change for mine yet but I will do it in another 5k.
When the green lights go down I use a coat hanger [reset] to make sure they all appear again so the car stays 'in tune' and runs like a new one!
