Whats the gauge reading when you first start it, and is it stable or all over the shop?

Realistically i think its going to be as Daz mentioned..........but its always worth asking.

When your holding the revs does it sound like its idling smoothly or does it sound rough? And is the gauge stable then?

Daz mentioned about checking the fuse in the slot labelled up as the heated seats.
