Speed Warning on the computer
« on: 29 March 2007, 11:28 »
Got round to reading the manual for this function - available on the non highline computer - Thought great - it will beep if i exceed a pre-inputed speed so i can keep my eyes on the road - why not? - Everything else beeps - oh you got low petrol, oh you got low washer level, oh you got.....
But it doesn't beep - it just states - speed exceeded. What use is that!!!! You might as well keep you eye on the speedo!
I'm hoping that maybe mine has something wrong - any bleepers out there?

Yep - one little small quite beep - no continuous beep - on no - Its got too many other beeps to worry about rather than do something sensible and scare the sh!t out ya!

Mine's a bong for sure and then without any warning, instead of a kipper slapping me, mine is a piece of curred ham lightly dressed with a honey and mustard dressing!
