On a similar note, the 164TS I test drove, had a faulty 
temp display.  It showed below 40 degC (after some sprited 
driving with the ambient at about 33 degC).  

The display test button only tested the lights.  It does
not seem to test the gauges.  

Is this the way it's suppposed to be?  A bit worrying, 
since such a failure could catch you out!
