    Tyres worn out from outside only

    Bluetooth not working

    For some strange reason bluetooth isn't working in the car at all. In fact when I press the telephone button (2 buttons on the left hand side under steering wheel) nothing happens. Both of my phones aren't detecting car's bluetooth. Could it be a blown fuse? If so where is this fuse located? Thanks

Reliased it after about 11 litres, stopped immediately. Called a cousin who's quite good with cars and he told me to...
