thanks must need switching on as mines doesnt seem to work. i take key out of ignition then turn lights off but they always turn off straight away

 

i use mine every now and then, but find myself always waiting by the door waiting for them to turn off. :lol:

 

whats the proper way to use them then? am i doing it wrong.

 

What you say is right 7T5
"take key out of ignition then turn lights off, and lights should stay on for 1 min"

what i do is stand by my front door watching teh car to make sure the lights go out and dont stay on and flatten my battery

Hahahahahaha!! That's what I do too! In fact I don't even get out the car, I sit and wait for them to go off, just in case.........

 

thanks,
maybe i shouldnt bother turning them on then!!!!!!!! might get wet if its raining and im standing waiting!!!

doesnt the lights on buzzer annoy you when you open the door? with the facility on

 

No. So long as you switch off the ignition, then turn off the lights in that sequence, the lights will stay on for a min but you won't get the lights on 'buzzzer'. You'll get that if you forget to switch the lights off. Doh! :iwstupid:

 

If you open the door then switch off lights I think it cancels it, so your lights switch off straight away, so on mine, switch engine off, then lights off then door open, so no warning buzzer cos switch is off.

 

Re: Guide me home lights.

I love these lights on my 75. you switch off the ignition, then the lights, and the lights stay on for about a minute - Great Idea..............one small problem, how many times have you heard

" You've left yer lights on mate ! "


Very annoying !!!

I do love that feature on the ZT. I tend to use it all the time unintentionally

but yeah im sick of little chavs whining at me "hey laa you've like, left your lights on laaa"

 

Holy Thread Revival Batman!

It is a handy feature though, unless like I do, you reverse your car onto the drive :doh:

 

You can set the rear lights to stay on for a minute or so as well - needs a T4 session though.

 

I always use them but never look back, quite often get someone shouting "oi... you left your lights on!" but i enjoy replying "It's ok... they will turn themselves off in a few seconds!" ROFL

It's good to feel superior and smug sometimes, just another reason to love the 75/ZT i guess

P.S. i haven't timed my lights but i am sure they dont stay on for a minute!?!

 

This work on the ZT as well?

 

If it's turned on, then yes.

 

I love it when in a car park and someone shouts hey you left your lights on. I usually time it so that when I click my fingers they go off and I just turn my back a walk away with a huge grin on my face.

he he he works every time.

If now and again you don't want them to remain on, you just switch lights off before ignition and they will go straight out.

 

If you switch off the engine followed by the lights and you don't want the lights to stay on for that extra minute. Turn the lights back on and off again and they all go out.

because he has been banned at some point and his account has been closed, all posts counts, and PMs to his acount would have been deleted, but posts he made are still visable

 

Agree with the "Oi you left your lights on" sentiments.
Nothing better than arriving at work on a dark morning to hear those words as you stroll casually from the car.
My latest reply was " That's ok mate, it's a Rover 75, it knows what to do"

Even when there is no reason to use the "get you home" lights, I still do it, just to promote a reaction from lesser mortals.

 

Agree flyer. I finished the 16 hour days, sometimes 36 hours on the trot, ten years ago when I took up my current job. 35 hours a week for me, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Life's too short to spend it working. I can sit at my PC and look out the window at my 75, snuggled up on the drive. Does life get any better?

 

i try and motivate myself to start earlier , work on a bit maybe but i just cant do it , i enjoy my job [not the hassle] and its a living but thats all. as you say 35 hrs and get your feet up , i havnt worked at the wkend for over ten years , there is no way back now . flyer:bah:

 

When I read a thread I usually check how many posts they have made to see what experience they have and so answer accordingly. Simple answers for low posts and ignore if I think they know more than I do; which is often.

I didn't understand why this guy had no posts. It was later I saw he was banned. Just couldn't understand it. Now I know.
