Had just about every warning etc on dash today
Had all the bells and whistles going off today, special programs off, suspension lowering (which it did!), ABS, no speedo and even transmission overheating.
Got home, calmly checked rear lights to find a stop lamp out, change bulb and no further problems.
So thankfully after reading on here, the bulb was the cure, BUT
It does seam crazy that all this happens because of one duff bulb
We had about 11 miles left on our journey home, a 50 and 60 mph route that can be peppered with mobile camera vans so that was fun with no speedo and of course running on its bump stops
Spare bulb now carried in car

SWMBO & I have a sooper fast routine for unloading my car an dumping it all in hers when mine decides to play up just as departing on a long trip! We run 2 D3s but still keep the Jazz as we need something reliable when the D3s (occasionally both of them) are knackered!
