Fakemobile XM

OK I thought I'd better start a members cars thread as I picked up my XM yesterday.
Here it is with my C4 VTS on the drive today.
A few problems to start with (well there would be wouldn't there!)
1) I couldn't lock it, but a forum reply told me to press on the key in the lock & that works. I will look at getting the remote working in the future.
2) The climate panel didn't light up so car was misting up to start with, then the heater got hotter & hotter. Controlled the temperature with the sunroof! I've did a search on this forum & found this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5570&hilit=climate+panel so had a look at the fuse box. Rather strangely, it has an in line fuse (30a) next to it and a (slightly melted) fuse in the original position as well. I replace both with new fuses & sprayed contact cleaner over connections, all working! Hooray!
3) Cruise control not working, the green light on the switch is permanently on slightly, it gets brighter if the switch is pushed, but the symbol does not light up in the dark. A Forum reply suggests it could be the brake light switch, will have look when I get a chance.
4) The CD changer in the boot didn't seem to work, says "load disc" in the display. This is me putting discs in upside down! Derr!!
Gave it wash to remove the salt, looks great for a 20 year old car!
