Hi all

so the v12 vantage bit first. Went to see one at my local dealer. As background I am still a new boy to am. Had my 4.7 since April and completed a joyful 3800 miles. The v12 does look fantastic. I love the grills (not everyones taste I know). I also think the carbon fibre detailing works really well. But the things that I liked the most were the steering wheel and the seats. The seats are great. They hold you just the right amount. I am not so sure about the gear stick though. It just felt a bit big.

Anyway back to my car. I has pulled fuse 22 about an hour before going to the dealer. It had been back in place for Most of the last few months for various reasons that I won't go into. So pulled fuse, drove approx 35 mins, had a look at the v12, got back in my car, started the engine and the time for service warning came on. Stopped the car, restarted but the warning persisted. Obviously being At the dealer I asked themto have a look and they reset the system.

anyone else had this situation and does anyone think it was linked to pulling the fuse? The fuse is back in again now.

Thanks

Josh

josh do not worry, removing fuse 22 only flags a code within the system and does not trigger the warning display, nearly all the cars i see have either the fuse out or have been decorked,

Thanks Rick. Appreciate the reply. I assume the Service warning was just a coincidence. I'll take the fuse out again later. smile

best regards

So i am guessing you two are guy and Martin in which case bugger off.

Your cars are common, lacking in style and covered in plastic looking add ons.

The prosecution rests your honour

My Aston is ultra reliable and people love it, let me out a junctions, smile and wave - a bit like the 'wave' Porsche drivers get every day of their life, except the fist isn't clenched and moving side to side

Hey, we have a troll! A rare thing here. ETA, he has the worst Porsche ever, a 996. hehe

My fuse 2 has been out since I bought the car in March. No problems whatsoever (apart from the who keyed it).
