Hi

The lights behind the heating controls in my Bravo aren't illuminating, does anyone know how to replace them?

Mmmm, not a fantastic help, I'll have to get me an eLearn cd..................

dont believe all you read!

T14086

Is it me or what? Whenever you follow one of my posts, it's not at all helpful, very negative or you have to be a cryptanalyst to decipher the messages contents?

whats so 'cryptic' about it

If I was to make the statement 'don't believe everything you read' I'd then go on to enlighten the person/people with the wealth of my knowledge. Isn't that what the forums mainly about?

I'm sure you're just trying to increase your post count........................

it was in reference to the procedure copied/pasted from elearn and thus not directly related to you....but you obviously couldn't help coming to your own conclusions!

As for post count, so what it means nothing but seeing as it bothers you then if you care to look back at my posts you will see some very long posts something that someone wouldnt be doing if trying to increase their post count!

we stopped counting post since the days of waking up to pages of twin n steve spam, but we still post stuff just to confuse you, its in the mod rules, so we have to :devil:

Oh Mr Rabbit Man, I knew it wouldn't be long before you waded in!

Where is Steve, haven't seen him or Sexy, sorry Stu on here yet?

T107525466169, without quoting the eLaern speil, do you know how to change the bulbs?

steve only here now an then now, he went an got a life Stu is about but self employed now, so don't get paid to just sit there n post no more

I just purchased the LE eLearn, maybe I'll get the answer there.

Having come from the Alfa forum, I have to say Alfisti are far more knowledgeable and technical than the FIAT fans. The responses on this forum are far less helpful, maybe it's the difference between real enthusiasts (AR Petrolheads) and a combination of younger members in this forum.

or could be no ones have broke yet, so they dont know the info to pass on

Maybe it's this particular section cause the Bravo is still relatively new but what ever question I've posted there has been little technical know how or responses.

Most of us are drivers, not motor technicians.

Perhaps you should'nt burn your bridges which is exactly what you are doing with comments like that. You could be right with what you say but there is a thing called common courtesy.

You've misintepreted my quote or maybe I've come over all wrong. I was just saying this is a less technical hands on forum that what I've been used to, seems like more of a social community, no offense intended.

find that with most new models, ( unless they use old tech like some alfas) no one really works on them till they over 3 years old, then we get loads of good tech posts

I am still here, of course
