A little while ago, an annoying glitch occurred on the RRC. When arming and disarming the alarm/immobiliser, it all functioned correctly but the hazard lights no longer flashed (3 short flashes arming and one long flash disarming is normal). The guys at Rogers of Bedford quickly advised that this was very common and the fault […]
