Re: Parking sensor system fault

I got a new speaker, like for like, so it was a 1 min job to replace. However, the rear sensors still don't work and the light flashes, so looks like it wasn't the speaker. Do the sensors themselves fail? Easy to replace? How would I know which of the 4 has failed, or will I need to replace them all...

Re: Parking sensor system fault

My rear sensor has failed, 2014 model. Assuming it's the buzzer like most on here. Thanks for all the previous posters I should be able to replace this buzzer fairly easily. I did notice all I need to do is clip off a small part of the panel from in the boot and I can see the buzzer with a torch and...

Re: Audio system cutting out 2014 reg

Yes, this has been discussed extensively on here, it's not a fault with a unit, it's a change in the way DAB signals are transmitted and needs a simple firmware update that anyone can do themselves with the info in these forums, as long as they can copy a file to a USB stick. I've done it twice, and...

Re: 3 metallic raps

Is there a way I could diagnose if it's CV joint rattle myself?

3 metallic raps

I've got a new noise that is driving me mad trying to diagnose. It is a metallic rattle, a bit like a heatshield, but it is always 3 sharp knocks, like someone knocking on a tin can with a spoon. Never 2, never 4, always 3. Somewhere to the front and right of me, probably around the wheel area. And ...

Re: touching up rear paintwork - grey 2014

It's definitely plastic. Which I think will make painting a lot easier, no need for primers etc.
Got a £7.50 spray can from Halfords, painted some plastic pieces in the garage last night and they seem to be an exact match in the sunlight today, so I'm going to give it a go.

touching up rear paintwork - grey 2014

Hi all, Had my first scrape, and looking to touch it up. Rear passenger corner. No dents, just paint scraped off. Picture below. So is the black the primer underneath, or is this a black plastic piece of bodywork? Any tips on doing this? And is there a good place to get the exact match paint other t...

Re: FIRMWARE VERSION

At last - D605 now lets you press the forward/back key on the steering wheel to cycle through your 6 DAB presets, rather than through the whole DAB list alphabetically! Been waiting for that one for years. I thought this would just be the bug fix for the reboot issues, so it's nice to see new featu...
