Default who would have thought

Quick story -

four years ago my cruise control just stopped working - you could power it up but would not set

three years ago the S/W audio controls stopped working

eight months ago every single time you started the car there was a series of five beeps five times - most annoying!!

two months ago the car horn stopped working

Well today, thanks to Greg (Grum) who picked up and posted a part for me last week, I now have my new, possibly last available for an AU 111 XR6 in Australia clock spring fitted and all the problems above have disappeared. I am one happy camper.
