When you open the drivers door (with the engine running or not, if it makes a difference?), with the lights still on, does the car beep at you?

mine's never done this, just wondered if it is meant to (like other cars) or not ??!

You mean you've never noticed that when you switch the car off, the lights turn off as well?

no, assuming you're not winding me up

I'm quite OCD about doing stuff in the right order, so I always turn my lights off (and stereo) before turning the engine off.

My girlfriend does the opposite, turning the engine off and then turning the lights and stereo off. For some reason it really annoys me when she does that.

mine beeps!

tells me my head lights are on!!

Duncan, if your's does not do this, i would take to an auto electrion ASAP!!

the world could end if you dont fix it!

Lol.

In my little runabout the now, the stereo goes off with the engine but the dipped lights stay on!!

In my stilo the lights went off but the stereo stayed on!!

Lol.

Ross

Haha, nope i'm not winding you up. The coop is fantastic. The moment you switch the ignition back to the start position, it switches off the head and sidelights, dash etc.

Why this isnt a 'feature' of more cars i have no idea.

Cars that keep their headlights on when you take out the keys are annoying. Why!

Mine does the same

along with random error messages usually the airbag light....
My stilo loves talking to me

One cold winters morning i got in started her up

beep beep
Airbag Failure
beep beep
Coolant Temp Sensor Failure
beep beep
Engine Failure (strange as it was running)
beep beep
Low Petrol
beep beep
and finally
Warning of Ice

ahh I love the Stilo

I could have sworn the car did it when I first had it!

I'd like to get my climate control fixed so it works 100%. The system even has a diagnostic port just like the airbag ECU. But what the hell are you supposed to do when even Fiat haven't got the diagnostic kit to talk to it??!

Think ill get that civic type R now, anyone want my plus for 5k ?

Lol This is sooooo true of mine as well!!!

Its better when you get ACR failure, car security failure, random bulb failures and engine fault failure!!! Then you switch the key back and then back to on and it comes on fine!!

Ross

Sold if it comes with an invoice.

Oooooooft. There is a poker player right there!!

Ross

you've already got one moon grey plus, why would you want two for ?!

I'd love it Duncan, but it would mean building another shrine with a Black floor, I don't think I could live with the wife if I said to her "I'm getting another Coop dear"

you'd get £5k for sure, a moonie sold last month for not much less.

Spares...

I didn't mention it Ross but it does come with a £300 fitted Covercraft Car Cover

That way you can temporary store it outside whilst you convince the wife

It would be its mirror image. One lefty, one righty.

I'm off outside to try Truffle's claim on the car electrics!

Oh. There is a tell straight away.

Why wouldnt your coupe get the shrine and his be outside?

Lol!!!

Ross

The garage is decorated to the style of the LE, you couldn't put the Plus in there , it would need a separate garage

a Black/Silver combination would look good!

Shall I wheel out "THAT" photo for the other Ross (h2per) to see? or would it piss Dan off too much

P.S. I think Battleship Grey floor & Black walls would be a nice combo. It wouldn't show the dirt too much on the floor Plus, Ha Ha (get it?) the black walls & pictures would look awsome against mooney silver

Oh do show, Pm or on this!!

Ross

Sorry to all, who've seen this already

Camouflage!

I always switch the lights off first, but that's because I have HID's and don't want them trying to power up along with everything else, the next time I start the car
As you've never noticed that switching the car off kills the lights, then you won't realise that switching the car back on again will fire up the lights, without the need for you switching them off and on, which isn't good for HIDs.

I've got HIDs too Theresa

Another reason why i'm anal about turning them off before turning the engine off!

I sometimes forget & on starting the car the power taken to start it knocks out one of the lights. Its not till you come up behind something that you realise, then I've got to switch off for 5 secs then back on. Oh well, at least it looks like all the other cars out there driving with just one headlight

No, a lot darker than Mooney Grey, just lots of tones down the scale

Just showed that to my g/f, her words were 'oh dear god '
