Its not a first... I once returned home to see my neighbour's SEAT-people-carrier-thing in exactly the same situation as yours: dash lights and rear number plate lights on.  Glad to hear you've found the problem tho...

Well spotted and I see what you mean. Short doors on a two door?  :undecided:

Well observed lol, its a 5dr with the rear door handles shaved off - as well as the aerial and spare wiper holes.  It properly confused me when I saw it in the advert pics before going to buy it...   :shocked:

The front seats tilt up cos they're from a Corrado, but I find it easier to reach back and open the rear doors from the inside to let people in.  Confuses the hell out of drunks...  :laugh:

I just dread the day that someone accidentally flicks the child safety lock switch... they'll be shut forever then  :undecided:

Check the grommet where the bonnet cable goes through the bulkhead is fitted correctly and isnt damaged as this will cause water leaks onto the fusebox
