Phew,that was close.....

My car is due a service shortly,and I was dreading telling them there was nothing needing "looked at".....In my experience,this leads Dealers to view you with a degree of scepticism,suspicion and sometimes even downright disbelief and ridicule.... Whistle
Anyway,with impeccable timing,and right on cue,I was welcomed by a loud alarm this morning (with the message on the screen below) accompanied by a total lack of parking sensors....
And just in case I was tempted to ignore it,my car developed a loud "pinging" under gently braking at low speeds.....
Imagine the enormous relief I felt on being able to report these while booking my car into TVLR this afternoon Very Happy

 "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

You'd better get it uplifted by the AA

You'll never be able to drive it without the aforementioned sensors Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
