The leather seats have the heaters sewn into the covers, the stat is loose and locates within the foam pads on the seat itself.
On the drivers seat the thermostat unit is located within the foam pad that runs parallel to your left leg. That is what is causing your problem, it's not working properly causing the heater to run at full pelt all the time, regardless of the position you set, 1-5.
Until you get the stat or seat cover replaced, i would immediately stop using it as it poses a SERIOUS fire risk! I can't stress this enough.
I've replaced my entire leather cover with a new one from VX, for the exact same reason as you. Seeing the burn marks/charring on the old cover when i removed it was pretty scary.

I told you to check the plug ages ago.
I thought you had this fixed.

Thanks, I will pop down the dealer this week.
Just a quick add on, if you don't mind.
while I have it stripped down, the display I mean. Is there a connection that could be loose causing the pixel drop out? It's a very basic unit and the pixels work sometimes and not others.
You should be able to pick up one on eBay cheap as chips.

As TheBoy already stated, the PowerSounder will only sound if someone has tried to fiddle with the electrics. i.e. disconnecting the battery.

Then the towbar removal is definately unrelated.QuoteAlso, having the towbar removed shouldn't necessarily effect the alarm function, depending on where the connections were made of course.
You have said the indicators and hazard functions are all ok, so i reckon it's unrelated.
The towbar electrics were connected in behind the plastic trim along the backend of the boot.

You DON'T have to press the button to enable the sensors. They are on by default, pressing the button before exiting the car and arming the alarm inhibts the ultrasonics.

The indicators should flash when in an alarm condition. How would you be able to tell which car was sounding in a car park for example.
The ultrasonics are on by default. You can disable the ultrasonics by pushing the alarm button on the dash before leaving the car. The red light will flash a different sequence before arming. You shouldn't need to do this under normal conditions though unless you were leaving your pet inside, or leaving the windows open.
Set your alarm as usual, but leave one of the windows down, this will allow you to reach inside once it is set. You will know it is set when the light starts flashing at a slow steady rate.
I know you can't deadlock the car if the seat occupancy is active, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't have any effect on the ultrasonics.

Did you get round to trying the black meega to see if it flashes whilst sounding?

I see where your coming from but this guy hasn't seen my black omega and it doesnt need tech2 putting on it as far as I know.I know, that's not what i was meaning, i wasn't refering to the black mig.
He does however want to put your other meega (not the black one) on tech2 to make it 'a little less German', cos it's illegal here. (Says he)
With regards to the black meega, do the indicators flash when the alarm is triggered?

I would've said you had a problem with the black meega if it ain't flashing.
The flash is there for confirmation of the command you have sent. If you didn't have the flash you'd be left listening for the central locking activating so you'd know if it's worked, which is, well, nonsense.
Is he not perhaps trying to fleece you out of your hard earned dosh for correcting a non existent problem with Tech2? :-?

Oh and I like the idea of the winscreen done on the insurance shall give that some thought.Yep, that would be terrible if you came out to find that window smashed.
Just make sure when you ring AutoGlass that they bring the correct one, tell them you have the high level brake light, cos if you just give 'em the year of the car they'll probably show up with the standard window.
