Bloody Glovebox, utter shite for a quality car!

They are in the garage. Parked. Waiting for f*ing spring!!

My glovebox is locked close to save the embarrassment.

My main gripes are the lack of aircon, having leather seats (combined with lack of a/c they're even worse, but at least they're heated for the cold morning starts, although I'd still rather fabric), and the lack of crash safety.

There's always something that needs fixing on it

The brake pad wear warning light still coming on even though I took out the instrument cluster to solder the resistor. I suppose I shall have to try again, the black tape over the warning light is starting to peel off!

Check your earth spade connectors are clean and tight on the rear lamp cluster metal frames, both sides - I soldered mine with a wire, the problem has gone away.

I know this isn't an advice thread but.....

I fully intend to go the other way! She's going to be a 330, but I'll stick a 316 badge on the back I think.
