Feed from the ignition white cable and the other terminal goes to earth. With ignition on it shows the state of the battery and with the engine running (alternator providing power) it shows the charge.

I like the no fuss look of these things. It was one of the reasons why we bought it as I needed a vehicle that won’t get ruined when I chuck spades, rabbits, ferrets and nets in the back. I didn’t want to be worried about the trim getting tatty with half a dozen shot rabbits flung in the back.

But those seats have to go as I’m not happy about my children being in the back with no headrests. I will probably buy a set of Exmoor Trim high back seats and fit them. The dog guard will also have to go as I am planning on fitting rear bench seats and they won’t fit with the dog guard in place.

The heater controls are very basic and the heater, or warmer as it should be known is infamous for its feeble output.

You get 2 speeds of fan, fast or slow, but the control is designed in such a way as to look as though you have a graduated scale at your finger tips, very clever!

The warm air can either go out under the dash and warm your knees or be directed up towards the windscreen where it blows gently across the bottom of the screen. There are no side vents for keeping the side windows clear, but that is what your sleeve is for.
