I got into my car earlier this evening at Birmingham International Railway Station car park, switched on the 'phone button and was informed that a phone was not fitted on this car.  Now I have used the phone for 3 years [judiciously when static or when a passenger has been there to use it] without any problems.

While thinking how to solve the issue, I remembered something I read a few years ago.  Some one had the same problem and what he did was switch off the ignition when he got home, go inside, have a can of beer, then go back out, switch on the ignition and lo and behold, it worked again! 

I have not lost any of my memory, but it can still be done without the beer!

This may be useful to someone!

Regards

Peter.

which brand of beer do you recommend Peter? :P

On a hot day, Budweiser, but otherwise Doombar!

But only late in the day when the car will no longer be used!

Peter.
