  1. "Press and hold DISP, then look for the beep or buzzer icon to change the volume of the alarm ‘chirp’". On what "screen" do you do this? I have never found this on my hybrid . I know I can turn off the EV indeicator from one screen and when looking at the fuel efficiency (not the since last refill one) doing this resets the count ...
  2. hold hte key to the door handle ... and then open the door ...
  3. Its there on a japanese import ... I think the ECU changes the language when it fires up ... if you can block that ... it will stay in English.
  4. Badum tish ... petrol stations always quote it in pennies or cents ...
  5. I twice ran it for 50 miles or so past the 0km left on a rnu down and back up through France in the past week. Both times refilled to 58L and no signs it wsa dangerously low on fuel ... Not sure I want to push it any further mind 😄 Slightly annoying only managed to get 55L in while I was in Andorra ... Only paid €124.2 per litre as well!
  6. Filled up 58L today ... saved 5p a litre carrying on to the sainsburys near home! 🤣
  7. I've taken mine down to 57L a few times ... generally shows empty at 52L ... Have driven it from Sevenoaks to High Wycombe with the fuel guage on empty 😄
  8. I don't have any other good pics handy will have to try and remember to get you some over the weekend. The straps over the spoiler may well push the spoiler down a little but its not noticeable. I've had a good 40kg of bikes hanging off them as well.
  9. I've got a thule 973-24 I picked up for £40. I've modified it with some straps on the sides and across the top of the spoiler and it works beautifully. Really wish I could get a 4th bike adapter for it ... but its so old you can't get them anymore
  10. Its definitely a JDM. Basically it looks like my radio canbus reader was crashing the ecu so it wasn't starting up (and hence i couldn't get the car to start or any info out of it!). I'm thinking it starts in english and then the ECU updates it to japanese ... It did allow me to find that there is a menu where you can turn the EV indicator on and off (was nice when you read it in plain english!). I guess if you could somehow scroll through other settings then language might be an option. But I can't figure out how to do that. All I can do is turn the EV indicator on or off
  11. Does anyone know how to do this? With my recent issues, when the ECU was failing ... the whole thing started reading English. In the attached screenshot you can see it says "Outside" in English. (Its a shame I didn't get a better picture before fixing the problem where there was a bit more written in English mind). So there must be a way to change it. Anyone know how to? Thanks!
  12. I was recommndd that I speak to Dave over at Worcester's Mobile Mechanic and he was convinced it was the aftermarket radio. He was surprised itd been in the car for 18 months said usually they go wrong in a few weeks. Suggested i put the original back in. However, I did suddenly think I had added a canbus interepreter to the car 6 weeks back. I pulled that off the radio and then suddenly the car jumped into action! Code reader is now working prefectly and I was able to clear the remaining codes and it was all working as expected. Will definitely keep an eye on it but this has filled me with hope!
  13. As an aside with my mk2 I removed the paper (genuine panasonic battery too) and this "built in" thermometer was just hot glued to the top of the case under the label I really doubt it does as much as many people suggest 🤣
