I really like the headlight washers :smiley:
First car I've owned that has them and it's never even crossed my mind that they are making my car dirty :shocked:
Who knew? :laugh:

I find it annoying when they spray just after washing the car :angry: Now I know I can stop them by switching the lights off so great! Somehow got to try and remember though :rolleyes:

Today I've sorted my sticky fuel filler cap - the hinge was stiff so a spray with some white lithium grease seems to have sorted it.

Also booked a slot to have the droning from the rear investigated, I'm assuming bearings as the brakes are fine as are the tyres. Oh, and in a fun packed day also got a booking with Direct Line for them to assess the damage caused by my accident on Monday. What wonders are in store for me tomorrow?  :rolleyes:

Yeah I'll be doing mine with the long coding, doing all of the OBD11 tweaks with coding rather than the apps, which is why bought the Pro version with activation code.  So far, very impressed.

Don't forget to switch them back on for MOT time, if you still have the car. They're a legal requirement for bi-xenon head lights.

I have used both applications and coding with the OBD11, what is the problem with the apps?

Yeah I know, they'll go back on for that IF I still have the car.

Nothing, but some people prefer to have full control over what they are changing, whereas with apps you can't see exactly what is being changed in the background.  I did use an app tonight to do the fan level led display when on auto.

Done so far:

Chirp on lock/unlock - long coded
Stop/start disable - long coded
Headlamp washers off - long coded
Enable fan level display on auto - app

Still to do:
Reverse lights full brightness - long coded
Coming home lights long coded
DRL 100% with headlights - long coded
Full brake lights - long code
