Perfect.

Try the default reset and let us know if it works - unless of course you've go loads of personalised settings that you don't ant to lose.

The best solution is to complain like mad, by phone and email, explaining what happened just as you have here. If they've done it once, they may have done it before - and you will be helping to build a picture of their dishonesty. So, even if it costs you £100, you will have the comfort of knowing that you may be helping to stop these bent bastards from robbing other innocent members of the public. As you can see, I believe your story

To be honest, I think that resetting the Defaults may be the easiest way to do it - That Satnav manual is a nightmare, don't you think?

Right - I think I'm in a position to help you a bit now, having fiddled around in the Display Settings screen earlier today (in an effort to help you) and cocked it up, giving me a similar problem to you! My problem was that I accidentally set it to Night Mode - even when the headlights were switched off - and for quite a while I didn't manage to set it back to 'auto'. My best advice is as follows... 1. Make sure your headlights are switched off. 2. Go to Settings > Display > Background Colour 3.Toggle the Day/Night button until you get the 'daytime' image in the small preview screen. Try that - If it doesn't work first time, keep fiddling with different settings in that particular menu, because eventually you'll hit on the correct setting. I managed it - and my satnav now switches to the 'night screen' again, every time I switch the headlights on. The reassuring thing is that your satnav isn't faulty and it is able to toggle between Day & Night - you just haven't got it on the correct setting yet. Someone's clearly fiddled with it in the past, beacuse you aren't currently on the default setting. If you get really desperate, you could always try hitting the 'default' button, as follows... Settings > Navigation > Reset All Navigation Settings to Default > press Enter > select Yes > press Enter. This won't delete your memory items, such as stored destinations. Hope this helps.

Looks like you may need Chapter 8, page 5 - known as page 8-5. ...although it seems weird that your screen doesn't change to night-time automatically when your lights are switched on - I don't know anyone else with this issue. I may need to sit in the car and get to the bottom of it - just like you do!

Accidentally stumbled on this in Pistonheads... http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/skyline-r33/car-stolen----please-help-me-find-this-car/234739?isexperiment=true I know it was stolen in April, so it may be history by now, but you never know. Please delete thread if it's a duplicate.

I was thinking of getting there at 11am - I think that's the time they start - and staying for a bit. I just phoned The Goat and it does still happen - and it is this Sunday. Apparently the pub opens at 11am and the club members stay till about 2.30pm. -
Why on earth is has thread become so complicated and convoluted? Press the ESP button and you will turn traction control off sufficiently to allow you to go sideways & do donuts. If your ESP is off, you will see an orange warning light on your dash. I used to drive with ESP off all the time in my 350's - great fun. If you have an import the button is VDC, not ESP, but it does the same thing.

Fair play to the seller. Maybe he just didn't realise how badly damaged it was when he bought it with those panels completely wrecked and smashed to bits and then effected that total bodge job on it. Maybe he just didn't even notice, poor fella. Give the poor guy a break. He might just be totally stupid and can't help it. I don't think that he's an evil, selfish rotten sod who would be quite happy to take money from a poor innocent buyer - surely nobody would stoop so low, would they? C'mon guys.

Well, I think I'm going up there on June 1st anyway - just to see what goes on. Anyone care to join me? -

Take a look back at post 9 - you up for it? -
I've plasti-dipped the front fangs on my 370. Really easy to use - and reversible. I'm going to spray the area of the rear bumper surrounding the tailpipes when I get round to it. Make sure you buy the real stuff, not a cheap poor imitation.

Yes, I'm in Hertford. Although my current car's a 370, I've also owned 2 x 350's since 2004, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with them. I'd love to meet up some time. How about The Goat, Hertford Heath, on Sunday 1st June - apparently they have a lunchtime car thing on the 1st Sunday of every month, although I've never been to it. ps - the colour of my car is in my sig (that makes me even more observant than you ) -

Silver, with black front fangs, grey/silver Nismo wheels and a slightly nutty numberplate. Yours isn't black is it? I saw one once parked up near to Aldi's. - ooops I just saw your avatar. Clearly it's not black! -

Yes - Not nice to be reminded that one is a nutter. Maybe you'll spot me one day - I use Aldi regularly - can't resist a bargain, that's why I buy Z's. -

Let's hope it's him - I'm fed up with spotting people who don't exist -

That's it - I've decided - I'm REBELLING. I REFUSE to remove my tax disc from my windscreen. I'm starting a campaign. This October I am KEEPING my tax disc in my windscreen - arrest me, I don't care - I might even make my own ones. Do I start a new thread?
-
I suppose you've removed the weight in the boot lid?
-
I like tax discs I shall miss the challenge of trying to tear the perforations perfectly, to make a perfect circle without cheating by using scissors. No lumps, no torn bits and no portions missing. Takes a while, but it is do-able. Yes - I'm OCD too. And what I don't understand is why you guys have got a demand for £500. Mine plopped through the letterbox today too - and it's for £485. Is it because I have a 370?
-
Yes - I too feel that someone may lock this thread, for reasons best known to themselves. I've witnessed that kind of action before on forums. So, before it's locked, let me just say how sad it is that there seem still to be racists and their defenders* all over the place in our fine country. I live in hope that one day they will see. *many of whom claim, "I am not a racist"!
