Re: Steering notch?

I've got exactly the same thing on my car and was going to post on here about it. I've now done 13,000 miles and noticed it a couple of months ago.

Re: Front parking sensor's

No switches it is activated by selecting reverse (auto box) goes off with speed. Need to reactivate at each parking, bit of a pain until you get used to it. Sounds like a faulty installation- what use are front sensors when you are reversing... Front sensors are very useful when reversing as they p...
