This, THIS is why I hate the increase of electronics in modern cars. Yes it may be more convenient...when it works.
Gone are the days when you could open the bonnet up and not need a degree in electronics to fix your motor.

As my Dad put it: "Why do that make cars so you can not repair them any more. 12 years of owning an old Landrover and in that time only one breakdown but repaired the next day. A 53 reg fiesta cost £70 for a man to come out and he could not find the fault."
