Where does yours go?

[Tyre Smoke]

Service handbook that is. In my Chim it lived in the little pouch under the dash, in the Cerb there appears to be nowhere (or have I missed the cunningly placed handbook holder?)

At the moment it's living under the radio in the place where we all throw our key fobs, but that's starting to irritate me.

Also, I noticed yesterday that my temp guage still reads the temperature with the ignition off, is this peculiar to mine or do they all do that sir?

My book stays in the house....

Water temp guage? I never noticed it before.... another one to look out for....

Service handbook went in the boot, in the velcro-cubby hole to the right, along with RAC membership and a couple of cans of tyre weld. All held in place by a few litres of oil, water, anti-freeze, full toolset, etc.

Only thing that DIDN'T go in the boot was another tool kept in my jacket pocket incase the "secret entrance" was required...

Book stayed in the house too, I have seen them stuffed into the passenger door pocket though !!!!!!! Actually they can get put in the door pocket after it's been taken in for a service.

Hi Richard,My temp gauge does the same mate,i know thats of no use to you cos i havent a clue either but i thought i say "hi" anyway!!!

Left in the house, easier to prove the mileage to the insurance company, if the car dissapears.

If your service history goes out the window, your car could on paper, be worth a tad less.

Yep my handbook stays in the house.

As for the temp gauge, mine continues to read when the engine is off too, gradually falling over about an hour or so till the engine is stone cold again.

It's an unpowered mechanical gauge that gets its feed from a capillary pipe. In other words it's thermometer.
Time to worry is when it doesn't stay on.
