Open door warning light
Began to flash, then came on full time, then finally went off. This was on a journey of 130 miles. For a year or two I have had no bonnet open switch fitted, could it be the plug connector touching something? On the journey I pulled into some services and opened and closed all the doors, the warning light was still on when I drove away. If it was on at mot time would that be a failure? Actually it's going in for mot next week. What could be causing it?

I collected my first 75 this afternoon and had this happen to me at or around 70mph. I thought it was a speed limit warning at first! It mostly happens when I'm accelerating - when I let go of the gas, it disappears. It was indeed cold and very wet. Cheers.

Had a look this afternoon. The bonnet switch was half-broken and disconnected so that was a little clue. I connected it and the warning light is now staying on, confirming my sleuth-like deductions. I've therefore ordered another off fleaBay for a fiver which should hopefully straighten me out.

I fitted the new bonnet switch yesterday and the warning light has not reappeared since. The weather however has turned generally drier and milder so I'll give it a few days before declaring the issue resolved.
