me to mine packed up this morning - something to do with Aussie cars not liking -7 on way to work!!!

But when got to work switched off remove key put back in now gauges work....
Quite irritating but complements the indicators flashing like mad when cold aswell



New relays on way, got to monitor gauge issue

Mine only fail when it's very cold. I don't expect to make a trip to the dealer.

Was at Picador's last week having the indicators fixed and mentioned this problem. Said they hadn't heard of this before. Well that must be at least 6 cars known here have the problem.

Tricky to demo the problem when I live ~50 miles from Southampton though, but if someone gets it fixed let us all know so we can ask our dealers to do the same.

Someone on the VXR forum got all three clocks changed under warrenty it seems.
I had the mad indicator problem and no clocks again this morning,but all ok tonight.

How is it going to fixed even if the dealer sees it? Its what they do. They dont like cold. Putting another set in will achieve nothing unless their is a revised setup ( which i dont think there is).

I would put money on it being integrated circuits with a standard temperature rating (0C to 70C) in the unit driving the three dials. Anyone know where it is located? Simply lagging the unit may be a good enough workaround.

as with the monaros it is a total game of random pot luck. Same dealer would warranty one car on issues and not do another. Dancing dials.

I videod the dancing dials on several different occasions, got out and walked around to my reg so they knew it was the car then turned camera to my lovely face and they would not do it unless they experienced it for themselves. Yet the same dealers had previously swapped the dials out on anotehr members car who had shown them just one film.

Dealers, Vauxhall, the whole lot are like politicians only without any moral fibre
