you have a d8 but on my 2000 d9, you hold the buttons down on the display, one scrolls through the options, the other button changes values

On the D8 I think it needs one of the pins on the connector shorting to earth. no idea which one though
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

You just need to pull out the yellow wire from the plug connector (pin 8 ). It will read in degrees C from now on.

Best of luck. Tom.
