You should be able to change your keyboard map - I have mine set to UK English - Extended Winkeys.

Try this

I can change mine at will, an icon appears at boot up.

Found lots of suggestions on the net, the simplest was from Microsoft: Depress the 'windows' key then scroll through the options with the space bar, set it to English UK and away we went.

My Diesel Additive tank is probably ready for a refill. This morning I drove twenty miles across Surrey to a small garage that described itself as a French Car Specialist to inquire about getting the refill done. I told the guy that I needed Infinium. He looked blankly at me and asked if I meant the Eolys fluid. I told him “yes” but added that the engine needed Infinium. His reply didn’t fill me with confidence, “As far as I know, it’s all the same.” I asked him what would be the cost………….. £60 plus the cost of the fluid.

So…………….. if I ordered two litres of fluid from Ebay, I’m looking for someone with a Lexia in the Surrey, Kent or Sussex area who would like, not only to reset the counter but do the topping up as well for me. All at your convenience of course! Ancient joints rule me out for getting down and under now. If you live a reasonable distance from north Surrey and you fancy picking up the 60 quid, send me a private message.

I have a couple of C5 Navidrive handbooks if anyone wants one, they came with the car but not much use to me.

That will likely be for the RT4 system in case anyone's wondering. I have these on PDF too if needed.

There is a white plastic fitting in a recess in the Eolys tank cover, does anyone know what you do with it, does it twist, squeeze or lever?

Thanks

Thanks again, ignore the last post it was just a locating peg. :oops:

Do I have to take the tank out to fill it? I read something about an overflow connection?

No, you fill it in place by gravity.

Have a look at this video it will show the operation on a Peugeot - the same thing.

There's no audio - he's just going for the silent movie star award 2019 :-D



Just ignore the product specifics as you know what fluid you need.

I've seen that video before - and forgotten about it, don't ever get old. :? :( I've had enough for today so will fill it tomorrow.

Thanks once again. I don't know what I would do without you guys.

No worries - but do get some protective gloves on - that stuff is NOT skin friendly and you don't want to get any of it on you Peter.
