They're so serious and scary looking with that exclamation point! Mine only meant the drivers side speaker wasn't working correctly. It flashed on a couple more times in the next few days and I haven't seen it since - and the speakers are all fine! Hope the second half of the month brings you glorious weather!

At least it had a proper place to put it, some new cars do not even have a stowaway place for the spare any more. Then the next Citroen I transferred it all to the new one, same wheel size, same model. Even if you are going to call out assistance at the side of the road with a flat tyre, you still need a spare. My brother has now kitted his wife's Fiesta in same way. Beware readers. I am not sure that we knew in June last year what a beautiful summer we would have, but it would be rare if not impossible to get two in a row.
