I had the same problem with an import car I had a few years back. I welded hooks on that I cut from a pair of old arms. The only problem was remembering what model fitted my car when they needed replacing. ! ( I should have wrote it in the hand book.)

Have you checked the spare wheel compartment for puddles. A common fault with estates.

Yes Likewise ! There have been posts on here in the distant past saying it could be an MOT failure, but I've never had a problem.

When my tailgate stopped working from the key fob. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and it reset itself.

I would try banging a socket or ring spanner on to the pully bolt. To undo the bolt and replace it with a new one. PS I made my own tension tool by welding the end of a ring spanner on to a length of bar.

;)

It might be worth trying to see if disconnecting the battery for a few minutes will reset the system. It worked on my estate.

Thanks for that info. Does that mean both are ok for petrol engine, Would one be better than the other in a petrol engine ?

Apart from the price. What is the difference between - Castrol Edge 0W-30 C3 and Castrol Edge 0W-30 A5B5 ?

Sensors on the number plate only will not protect the vulnerable part of your car - The corners. I can't comment on magnetic type from experience but I would imagine if they were any good they would be fitted by the trade.

I guess it depends on the drivers size and consequently the driving position. After my wife borrows my car I have to move the seat back a fair bit and adjust the rear view mirror, so her head must be a lot closer to the A pillar than mine and give her a different view.

Pedro the links in your post show the Bilstein units as rear ones and the KYB units as front ones. ?

It's clearly obvious saj saw a possible reason why my car could be exempt when he asked if it was a diesel. You didn't make it clear yours was diesel when you said - "Just checked mine, it's an 8th auto tourer, and will be charged if I go into the zone" ! ​What you have made quite clear is...

Thanks for the link. Just checked mine and it's not subjected to the charge which is strange as it's older than yours ( 7th Gen ) I wonder if the mayor of london would keep imposing charges if every town adopted the attitude " You're charging us to go in your town so we are going to charge you...

Gareth you may also want to consider fitting a cut out switch to the sensors to save the annoyance of the buzzer when reversing with a trailer on. The downside is that you may forget to turn them on again when you unhitch the trailer.

My tow bar doesn't interfere with my reversing sensors. Check to see if your sensors have a wedge shaped spacer fitted, if they do they can be rotated to angle the beam away from the tow bar if it does cause problems.

My brakes on one occasion made a horrific noise without any advanced indication from the audible warning tag. Inspection showed sods law had come into play, the pad with the tag on still had plenty of meat on it but the other pad was down to bare metal.

Yes got the same bull from my local dealer when it was booked in for the recall airbag job. "You've got a really rare model we would love to purchase etc etc" - After I had spent a fortune on a new car :wacko:

Banned unfortunately.
