• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Voltmeter

    Sorry Team I didn't explain myself very well. The lights on the voltmeter stay on all the time. Have made an appointment with the dealer to fix. They mentioned about running the red wire to the accessory terminal instead of the battery. Thanks for the help.

    Voltmeter

    I had a voltmeter installed on my 2010 RT (under the seat) by a Dealer & they ran it to my battery. The lights are on full time instead of only on when you turn on the key.
