Defender Vehicular Hypochondriac: My check engine light came on today. I'm going to die.

Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

You will also find suffers of DVH repeatedly tell the other occupants of the vehicle to 'ssssssshhhhhhhh... ' whilst they try to work out if the noise they just heard was coming from their truck or some random squeek like noise from a track playing on the radio. (spot who's guilty of that Embarassed )

You should not confuse DVH with TGDT (Td5 Gearing Derived Tinnitus) - which is caused by repeatedly driving over 65mph for excessive periods of time. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

I get similar symptoms when it's parked out of my eye line, or someone walks within two feet of it (six, if it's just been washed)
