Ive recently purchased a 73 reg 190 4 drive Formentor.
Very happy with the car.
One strange issue, the interior light drivers side keeps switching on randomly.
Any ideas?

Your car needs a new interior light unit. If it's under warranty, just book in with your local dealer to have it replaced 👍

Well mine also does that. It's possessed 😂.
I have left it to do it's thing whenever it likes.
It would switch ON and Off several times in a short span of time when it receives instructions🤔
Imagine whatever that thing is kicks you out of the car while driving.
Joke apart I think it must be some electrostatic stuff.
Observation it happens when driver window is down and it's been standing under bright Sun.

It's booked in Seat to be replaced 2nd September.
Also waiting for a 2nd key as the car only came with one.
I can't become primary user until I have two keys.
Very happy with the car tho!
