Is there any way of bypassing the key code light? It won't go out and I'm stuck in a car park. TIA.

Hello. When my Launch Edition TCT is sat with the engine running in Park mode, on a slight down incline or hill, should the vehicle still roll or should it act as a parking brake (using the diff I think) and not move at all? When sat at traffic lights on a slight downhill for example, when in...

Hi All For some reason my rear parking sensors no longer work (error on dash), At the same time my boot release also stopped working (although this works from the key fob but I don;t think this is related). Just ordered some ELM leads & OBD reader to check for codes but is there anything else I...

I know leaky footwells are a common & tricky issue on the 166, but I found out yesterday definitely NOT to park mine on a slope with nose pointing upwards! Parked it overnight Thurs on our (admittedly) steep drive, next day loads of water in the passenger & rear LHS footwells after heavy rain...

As our kids have largely deserted us these days, Mrs K and myself took ourselves to Tatton for the 30th running of their American car show today. The weather was glorious and I have mild sunstroke but these were some of the highlights. *****WARNING**** Some of these pictures may contain ****...

Morning guys, I've had the worst morning :( Just parked up in the same car park I've been using for the last 12 months and careless scraped my passenger front wheel arch and drivers' side rear wheel arch against the wall (not another car, I'm not like that!). I'm literally heart broken right...
