    Apart from your issues, what are your thoughts on the Vitara? It's on my list of possibilities. We have a new Ignis and love it.

    My dad had a 2016 1.4 Boosterjet Allgrip (which I mostly drove) and found it quite nippy for it's engine size. Fuel economy was reasonable (better than my current car - but that's down to it being a 3.5 litre) - and it had enough toys to keep most people entertained. The only thing missing (which may be standard spec these days) was heated seats. It had all the Carplay/climate/cruise/anti-crash radar/half leather etc etc etc. The only costs were servicing and tyres until I sold it last year.

    Can you tell me how to do that? 
    The stick button which normally allows me to scroll the menu won’t let me do anything except brightness, I think this is linked to the TPW

    I can’t access that menu, this warning is taking it over & won’t let me access the usual menu.

    Do you have the engine running when you're trying to change things?

    Well I def have the key in, it has to be lit up to try & adjust.  I “think” I have the engine turning over. 
    How should it be?

    Off the top of my head (as I no longer have the car) the menu was different between ignition on, engine off, and ignition on and engine on. Try it both ways. (I suspect it's ignition on, engine off).
