Guys, whats the little knob for thats above my right knee when i'm seated in the car??? You need a pair of pliers to turn it or maybe the actuall knob bitty fell off and the stem is just left. Excuse the lingo!

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

IIRC Sounds like the steering wheel height adjuster, moves the steering wheel all of 2 inches up or down (vertically)

PS You lose your bet

Gazzab must be on holiday!!!!!

It's not the steering wheel one, maybe the aircon one though. I remember reading this was well hidden though in previous threads. Was also reading in the manual that there should be a beep telling you to change gear. I dont seem to have a beep, either that or I cant hear it from the engine noise.
Is the beep level adjustable?

Oh, just above your right knee, that'll be the indicator stalk. You don't want to worry about that

It is, but the adjuster is behind the rev counter

Some cars have a beeper, some don't. Those that do have a volume adjust pot behind the dash fascia.
