Its "replacement" could be arriving this week, but if it does, I might just keep it anyway. Im not going to get much of my money back.  ;D

Not that one unfortunately. It was almost gone in 60 seconds. Possibly another one though. Will know by tomorrow lunchtime.

Had a call from neighbour. ‘Your car back window is open’  Huh? Went out to find all 4 windows wide open  ( mondeo mk5). Discovered there is a ‘facility’ to remotely open all the windows with the fob! Must have done it accidentally in my pocket but why the **** would you want to?  >:( >:( >:( Now unchecked in menu and thanks to neighbour. Could have been nasty as it tipped down overnight.

That's been an option on many cars for 20+ years (the Omega did it), its to allow ventilation of the car prior to getting in for hot climates (and the rare hot days in the UK), very useful.  :y

Please share pictures, before and after and who did it.  I like to see proper detailing.

Yes, great for letting some heat out as you walk up to a car. Also, handy if you leave a window down and get out of the car as holding down the lock button will usually cause all the windows to go up.  :y

We are using LEDs, clearly tubes are far to short lived and don't like on off cycles to meet the automotive environment  :y

I can see the point of closing them on the button, but in 60 odd years of motoring in UK, there may have been 2 or 3 times when I may have wished to open the windows remotely instead of unlocking normally and opening windows. I do recall a time in Africa where it would have been useful, but in the UK? Nah!

Got the 960 M.o.T.'d,simple adjustment[so a free fix] was all that was needed on the handbrake-all it failed on-although it will need new shoes for next years test.
