That's the one. Very handy. I didn't put blue lights in the MFD to only see the date for a sec while the engine turns on then have nothing for no reason :P

Did the mfd diagnostic test on my corsa just now. Got F12 (initiating fault code reading). F95 (caused by aftermarket radio). F171 (ambient temp sensor problem). Pretty cool :D

Do you just keep pressing the buttons after holding them to get the readings?

So just tested. The stop pins do just pop out. So when I get a chance I will be rescanning them.

I was replacing a bulb and had a feel. Did it with the temp gauge. Just gave it a wiggle. Pops out easy :)

So have the update. Looks amazing. just to point out you can't make out all the numbers etc, thats just the photograph. it makes the numbers and the lights look funny.
