I believe the date is controlled by the feed from the Nav so once your disc arrives it should update automatically. The time seems odd though, have you tried the Rennlist forum for that one? There are some knowledgeable people over there for sure.
There are more drains on this car than the LA river system, have a quick look on YouTube for the locations and easiest way to ensure they’re running smoothly. I can’t recall one by the back door though. I presume the door seal is still intact and robust?
You also need to watch for the rear wash getting blocked up and dumping liquid - again good vids on YouTube for that one.
Cheers for the advice. Checked the rear door and no obvious drains. i think it may have a shield inside the door itself. Carpet on the door card seems to be drying out now so I'll keep an eye on it. Seal is in place and in good condition.

Edit After heavy rain yesterday the carpet on the base of the rear NS door car is dripping wet. I'm thinking water is entering the door at the top around the glass and then sitting in the bottom of the door which runs out from the screw holes securing the door card near to the puddle lights under the door. I think I read that there is a shield inside the door to deflect water. BUT where/ how is water meant to drain from inside the door?; can't see any obvious holes for it to escape?I've looked at Renlist re clock. Might be a faulty display. Might have to live with that unless the Nav disk sorts it all?
I'll check the rear wash connection; not used it yet.

Can you hear water sloshing about when driving?
Not that I have heard BUT I have looked at the videos and will be having a prod in the sill drains later That said I don't see how the wettness I have can be from one of the main drains as its just the carpeted bottom inner edge of the rear door card that is affected. Must be something within the door I would think?

Trying to sort another issue.
The switches on the drivers door for the petrol flap and the hatch release both do nothing. Checked the wiring behind and fuse 31 and all are in place and look good. Is there a relay for these switches?
Any thoughts? Is it just a coincidence that both are not working or are the faults connected? Switches faulty?

Aside from these fixes, are you enjoying the new whip?
I’ve had mine for about 7 weeks now and really enjoying it (after the disaster that was my first one).
Paintwork is pretty damn good too and got a nice beading shot this week which my other half laughed me out of the room for taking...
Are you planning on doing the DIY exhaust mod to open up the sound a bit more?

Did you manage to sort the nav/gps?
No; I took the rear spoiler off and cleaned all the contacts on the antenna and the receiver and still no satellites found It could be a loose connection at the headset end but not looked yet.
Yes enjoying the car. I had the air conditioning re-gassed and that has made a difference and changed the power steering fluid as it was a bit notchy at end travel. It seems better now.
Its in at a main dealer next month to have the safety critical recall done on the gear lever park mechanism; Has yours been done?

Glad you’re enjoying it and definitely good that the aircon is blowing some colder air now. These things are like greenhouses!Thanks for the heads up. I’ve no idea so I’ll get in touch with the mob in Swindon next week.
