Now I've had this car about a week and blown all the soot out of the
engine from a lifetime of central london driving, I'm certainly
impressed with how it drives (if not with its ultra-cheap
interior...its just like an engine with wheels), its fuel consumption
is unbelievable to me at over 70mpg on the motorway, being used to
30-40 on the XS.

BUT...the damn "water in the fuel filter" light on the dash wont go
out. I can categorically say there is no water in the filter cos ive
drained it til it was empty of everything. I've also taken the water
sensor out and given it a clean, which has made no difference. Is there
something else which makes it come on? Or is it just a duff sensor. The
filter is probably due a change, but I cant see why that would make the
light come on.

TIA
