Anyone ever calibrated their compass?
Or does anyone know how to?

Observed to be facing south and it displayed west.

Anyone ever calibrated their compass?
Or does anyone know how to?

Observed to be facing south and it displayed west.

very easy to do:
1. find a clear and safe area to calibrate; you'll be driving in circles to do it, so handle accordingly
2. press the button to adjust/ recalibrate the compass
3. you will get on screen instructions to drive slowly in circles
4. drive until the on screen instructions say that the calibration is successful
5. compass up the place

the most difficult thing with this might be finding a clear space to drive in circles; I've done it around roundabouts during slow periods.

Calibrated mine in the yard in front RexKar off the highway.

Hmm I have to try that

[tourniquet]

have you guys noticed that our wipers are speed sensitive? This is how I noticed it:
1. move stalk to the first setting (intermittent speed)
2. adjust the speed to the fastest setting
3. drive below 40 kmph, you'll see the time between wipes are at one speed
4. drive over 40 kmph, you'll see the wipe time increase

I haven't played around with it enough to give more details, but I thought it was a nifty little feature we have

[Val]

40 and 60 kmh are the triggers.
first two intermittent settings are speed sensitive

[solidust]

Thanks man tourniquet.

[tourniquet]

@ solidust- no problem man
@ Val- thanks man, looking forward to playing around with those settings, showing it to any passenger(s) with me, and seeing their looks of utter indifference

Anyone using Dunlop AT3 Tyre ? Need reviews

[VexXx Dogg]

I'm using it on aftermarket wheels (17 x 9) 275 65 17
No issues so far - going on 14 months
Probably not the best, but good bang for buck.

Hey guys i have a 2007 sportero and my air bag light came on.

Anyone ever experience that?

[firaz25]

Anyone have a used 2007 sportero tray cover for sale?

more than likely it's the infamous clock spring issue. check through this thread and you'll see several of us had the same thing. I believe Vexx Dogg might have been the latest to experience it, and if memory serves me well, he bought the part online.

[VexXx Dogg]

Bought online, was for a USDM model with steering controls, slotted right in perfectly, but needed a slight adjustment to fit (recrimp connector)

Thanks bro. They rated terribly online especially with wet roads so I'm a bit concerned. Anywhere in south (gasparillo) has the PT2s with 275/65/17.
Currently have 265/65/17 on a 3.2 and they break traction a bit too easily on wet roads.

[firaz25]

Thanks guys for your reply. I would check it out. It doesnt have a part number?
What about a new steering wheel?

Anyone ever had a problem with their Common Rail in their 2.5 Sportero leaking diesel?

I changed my Common Rail by DM 2 years ago and the problem is back again!

Never had that issue before

[kkallicharan]

Anyone here ever had their Sportero Ecotuned? Specifically the 4d56. I have the 2013 (high powered model) and have been thinking about it recently so any feedback from anyone who did it would be appreciated.
