Done - hope the car gets well soon!
(Mine was in Tuesday - MOT and BIG service - fortunately it sailed through with just an advisory on the front brake pads, so those got swapped at the service as well)

You were close it was a corroded connection, good garage though, they only charged for the seemingly obligatory OBD scan £63, just glad to get rid of the bloody light

Excellent!
You can buy a Chinese bluetooth OBD adapter for very little on FleaBay, and use Torque Lite (Android version[^] - may be available for iPhone as well, I dunno) to check and / or clear OBD fault codes (and put out the light).

I've got a Foxwell Pro OBD piece of kit which correctly identified a fault but wouldn't clear the error ( quite rightly in my book ) until the cause was rectified. I'd never have thought to look under the seat for wiring problems.

I tried to book (must be at least my fiftieth booking) through airbnb (which must, by now, have made me a "reliable user" -- and they take the money up front, anyway, so why do they give a sh1t?)
They -- a web-site, mind -- are refusing to complete the booking unless I provide them with a reproducible copy of my passport AND a clear photograph of myself which can be associated with my e-mail address and my passport and with everything else that they and their "partners" have stored in their databases.
Nothing suspicious going on there, is there?
So they have taken my money, and are refusing to provide me with the service I have paid for unless I hand over extremely private information to a web-site.
And we are in Europe.

Just work.
It's a contract in South Holland; too far to commute.

I am never happy with the whole copying passport thing - I have even been to a couple of job interviews where they asked to photocopy my passport.

In the UK employers are required by law to ensure that you have the right to work in the country. This usually involves seeing the passport of a UK national, or passport and work permit of a non-citizen. They are required to keep copies to prove that they have requested and seen the documents.
It seems prudent to ask an interviewee to provide such proof before they offer any job.

And if you don't have a passport as you've not been overseas?

I believe that other documentation is acceptable - birth certificate etc.

The solution to that is to stop being an American.

I usually will reply sighting a passport or other ID is acceptable with a good reason (i.e. proof of identity / nationality for work/new bank acct requirements),
but requesting and making / keeping a copy is required for? (In some jurisdictions may be illegal.)
Just curious...

EU passport/citizen not enough? (pre-Brexit)

EU passport is fine (at the moment)

Sure - I have no problem with showing my passport to someone, I am a little bite more concerned with them saving it somewhere that I have no control over.

Employers are required by law to keep copies that can be shown to Immigration Service inspectors who can make unannounced visits.

Presumably for employees.
Not for example someone who wanders in off the street looking for directions. Or someone during an interview.

You would not get an interview if you could not show that you were allowed to work here.
