Hi All, I have a Compact on a 51 plate, the dashboard airbag light and also the rear light warning stay illuminated quite often, does anyone know any reasons why this happens sporadically rather than just staying on ? The lights on the illuminated "car icon" (the one that shows if a door is open or a light is left on) , are they actually indicative of the actual light the fault is in ? e.g. n.s or o.s Thanks guys and girls! Paul

Haha thanks Stephen, as i suspected but good to have it clarified, i always leave it on but suppose if you wanted to "drift" etc that`s when it would be switched off? but think i`ll leave it as it is - the car is exciting enough! Paul

Hi Guys, Does anyone know the answer? I`m not sure whether my DSC is working, the warning light on the dash illuminates when i switch it off, however the "ride" doesn`t change much - if at all, I.E. the suspension doesn`t get softer but not sure it`s meant to. Sound familiar guys?

Ok Jeff thanks for reply, Paul

Yep i always liked manuals until i discovered Auto, also now my wife is more likely to drive me home from the pub once in a blue moon lol

No prob. these cars really do run like a dream, fastest and most well-designed car i`ve ever had, feels like everything (except the seat belts in the compact) has been designed properly! Enjoy that white smoke - you prob won`t even see it while accelerating away, lol

Steve, see you have an auto, i would never want to go back to manual since i got one coupla years ago. Stuck in slow moving queues used to !Removed! me off but not so much now lol

Hi Laura, Think white smoke is usually water getting into the cylinder, poss small fissure in cyl head gasket between the water and cyl holes. is coolant level decreasing? Paul

E46 auto 2.5l compact 51 plate approx 8000 miles only on the clock: Oil consumption seems slightly high but no leaks and no sign of any cyl head issues, only really happens after a few kickdowns, is this normal on this type of car? (It`s my 1st beamer and the best car i`ve ever owned.) P.S. Is anyone else on here in Hampshire ?
