Re: Folding mirror motor wouldn't stop

Yes, I thought it was odd too. I checked I had pulled the right fuse as there are two 7.5a together, which i believe I had. The dealer just disconnected behind the door panel ( didn't take it off fully). It's due in on Tuesday for its first service so it was left disconnected. They said they would o...

Folding mirror motor wouldn't stop

Today, something happened with my CX3 folding mirror on the drivers side when the motor kept running. It eventually stopped after around 20 seconds after turning the car off. However, as soon as I switched back on, it continued to run. I decided the only course was to pull the fuse and looked in the...

Oil change wrench on

At around 9300 miles, the wrench has lit up (cx3 1.5D) and it appears from the maintenance screen, I need an oil change. I could do this myself or take it to the local garage whom I trust and will probably be a whole lot cheaper than the dealer. My question is though, as there is no service book to ...

Re: hard wire dash cam

I've just done this. My dash cam ( a Rexing v1) is supplied with a dedicated aux power socket adapter which I originally draped around to the aux socket. However, it will run off a car USB socket supply and so I decided after some investigation, I would move the power 'up top' behind the roof light ...

Re: Cx3 headlight upgrade

Fitted the night breaker plus to the low beams on Friday and went along country roads as usual. Must say they are a great improvement and as I remembered them from the last car. Think I may sport the same money and upgrade the main beams but the extra reach of them and the top illumination from the ...

Re: Cx3 headlight upgrade

Thanks guys. Must admit I hadn't considered the warranty or legal situation. Did a bit of googling and came up with a blog which also put the VOSA mot side of things for HID's but also includes LED's. http://greyhead.co.uk/are-aftermarket-hid-lights-legal-in-the-uk#h.mgncps5vewv0 Others talk about h...

Cx3 headlight upgrade

Just been down unlit country roads (which I do regularly) and noticed how poor the headlights are on the CX3. Not really poor just standard. I upgraded my previous car to Osram night breakers which were much better. I have since toyed with doing the same to the CX3 but have seen the possibility of c...

Re: Seek buttons bug

Relieved its not just me, but cheesed off for everyone else. My list is a mixture of DAB and FM. Even though it sorts itself out eventually using the commander or scrolling through the favourites list and retuning manually a few times, it does mean messing around when you shouldn't have to. I have t...

Seek buttons bug

Hi, four weeks into my new CX-3 and very pleased, but the little things do annoy (it's a fair list- may post it sometime). Just wondered if anyone else had similar problems with the radio seek buttons as I do. Let me explain: I have set up a number of radio favourites and according to the manual, I ...
