Whilst driving to work I got a warning light come on (not the airbag one this time). It's red, with an exclamation Mark in brackets with a notched line across the bottom. Anyone got any ideas? My handbook is at home. I'm guessing it's worn brake pads. Cheers
 
Tyre pressure warning light, you may have a slow puncture, keep an eye on it.

It will come on even though you don't have rfts
 
after you pump up the tyres, hold down the button (next to your roof button) with the same symbol for a few seconds to reset the warning. :driving:

Hmm, strange, don't think I have runflats on my car. Any idea how I can check this?

It will function without runflats. You should get a warning beep at the same time it lights up. This will happen each time you start the car.
If there is no visible deflation you may find as stated you have a small loss of pressure. This is sometimes caused by hitting a pothole or similar.
Check the pressures and this will reveal all.
I had a leak on the rim of one of mine and it kept activating every couple of weeks after re inflating and resetting.
 
I did indeed get a beep as it lit up. I know one of my tires was a little low on pressure last time I checked them but I never got any warning last time. Cheers for all the info peeps.
 
Tyre pressure on my front left was 13psi :oops:
Inflated and pushed the button, now all is ok :thumbsup:
Yep, I do indeed have 108's. I'm guessing the fact that they are split rims leaves them prone to escaping air?

they aren't 'split' in the true sense, removing the stars leaves the rims themselves virgo intacto...I think their tendency towards corrosion and thence leakage is the point being made LOL
 
Well mine look like they have been refurbed at least once already.
In fact they could do with proper refurb now. Will get it done sometime during the summer I think.
Any decent wheel refurb specialists in Cambs/Lincs area? Anyone got any good recommendations?
