Drain the coolant and see what is in the bottom of the bucket after an hour or so. Syphon off the clear stuff and pour back in, topup with good stuff and repeat every day or so.

Thanks. I'm not going to do that then.

They used to be called trim poppers when I was on body panel work. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Retainer-Fasteners-Universal-Fastener/dp/B0BBGPW637

Allegedly a European model, 37820-RBD-E33 A UK one 37820-RBD-E94 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386722112639 or 37825-RBD-E91 though there are many others out there. Where are these mounted in the car ?

It might be easier to provide the part number off the side of the ECU, if somebody can tell me where in the Tourer it is I'll do same.

Which battery ?

As it is a saloon it is best to get it sorted since once the getaround fails there is no way in apart from jimmying the boot. Same with my drivers door mechanical lock (wrecked by a local toerag), I carry a spare keyfob battery everywhere, just in case. You might get away with drilling a hole...

Good thing I am outside the Khan enclave, locals might start prospecting. (but then there woulld be an evironmental crisis from those that pay £12.50 tax to drop similar on the roads paved with gold).
