  1. Thankfully i don't have it on mine (hence my ignorance about the button) but my friend has it on her Audi - complete and utter pain in the rear! If it was me, i'd turn it off as well, puts undue strain on the starter and no doubt the battery too (although cars with Start-Stop have beefier batteries to cope, allegedly) not to mention taking the decision making from me. I'm a big boy now, i know when to switch the engine off due to long delays due to roadworks, heavy traffic etc.
  2. Is the Eco button on the Climate Control (heater) panel Ian? If so, it will almost certainly switch the AC compressor off but normal operation will let the AC compressor run as and when necessary. If it's with the gear selector, i would guess it's an economy mode for the gearbox.
  3. Aaaargh!!! That rattled my brain cell! The image shows a waxing moon but i know it's currently waning as i was watching it a couple of nights ago because it was a very crisp, almost perfect semicircle. Then i remembered it was mirror image because - wait for it - it's in the mirror! D'oh! I should wake up more before letting my thoughts run away! Great pic though! 😉 😄
  4. That's a result then! Lovely pics by the way of your journey yesterday.
  5. Glad to hear that Ian, i was out and about in mine today, first time since getting all 4 tyres renewed. Vast difference in all areas - quieter, smoother, more "planted" on the road, grippier - i could go on. Plenty of tread on the old ones but they were old! Newest was ~7 years old so if anything ever seems untoward, have a look at the date code on the tyres! They do make you feel special driving them though. 😉 😄
  6. How is the XF coming along Ian? You have it by now i'm guessing?
  7. Lakenheath aka "next door to Top Gun".........
  8. Welcome aboard Ian! You're a bit north of me (saw your location in another thread) as i'm down the A1065 a bit from you in Suffolk, i'm a little younger than you (but not much) and also wondering how it crept up me so quickly without me noticing! 😮
  9. It could be anything! Your best bet is to get a code reader and read the codes, even a cheap one (sub-£20) on ebay should tell you the codes bringing the EML on. The cheap one won't necessarily reset the ECU but at least you'll have an idea what the probable cause is.
