Hi fellow stilo lovers,
my battery has been off my car for roughly 4 days as the car has been stood for a month or so and noticed when I pressed the button on my key fob it wouldn't unlock the car and had to do it manually with the key,so hence flat battery.i have been out to the car today to put the battery back on it and fit a new satnav+(which went in a dream and functions as it should).i then put the key in the ignition and went to start the car.everything came on (obviously time reset to 12:00) and car started fine but noticed that when I put the car in 1st gear the LCD clock display still showed the car as being in neutral,even though it was in gear as car drove forward,so I then put car on reverse which it did but was still showing as N,neutral on the clocks LCD.also the CHECK OK was stuck on which normally goes off after a few seconds or so.so I popped the bonnet thinking I would disconnect the battery again give the terminals a clean and it should be ok,but no....it actually went from bad to worse as now the clocks LCD doesnt light up and doesn't show anything,rev counter/fuel gauge/mph/temp doesnt work,but the car will still start and drive fine.the only thing that actually works and lights up on the clocks is the airbag light and airbag child seat warning lights that flash briefly when you first turn the key in ignition.any HELP will be greatly appreciated as car is booked in for MOT next week and will obviously fail with this problem....
Many thanks in advance!!!
