I have just found a icon in my dash first time seen this however how would you read this as I have found with this car what you think is Yes is actually not correct.

Is the Shaded Black area closest to the F indicator does that mean I have 3/4 charge left or am I down to 1/4 charge?

just checking what I am seeing is correct.

I think it's 3/4 full.

I hope.

Is there anything I need to look out for when changing the battery?

One foot on the break one on the horn and the right indicator flasher on?

Just thinking the nothing is simple and straight forward.

Change the battery with the car unlocked? Or stop the worry and just change the battery in the key fob.

Some things actually are simple and straightforward.

Car can be in any state. You don't even need to be at the car for it. Just take out the key from the fob, pop the two halves open and change the battery (and yes, it's a CR2032).

Piece of cake. I actually did it to mine a couple weeks ago after realising that the vehicle was only sensing my keyfob when I physically plugged it into the keyport because even the locks wouldn't operate with it.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
