Steve Q Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Bet you can't wait! Have you got it now? Vcds or obeleven are common ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Barnes Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) thanks, yes i am 99% happy with it, air con does not work and the wheels could do with an overhaul, just managed to pair my phone with the car but cannot for the life of me work out how to put all my phone number into the car.

The AC fault could just be a regas but worse case scenario it's the compressor. If it is then it could be an expensive bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Barnes Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 It also appears that my parking sensors are not working either, need to find someone who can plug it in and tell me what's wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be a sensor, broken wire or failed module. I'd definitely recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up.
