I must have been lucky then with the 2 of them I've had in a row over the last 5.5 years....outside of pt 1 and the knock on effect on the parking sensors, I've not had a single fault and I cover in excess of 20k each year!

Tyres have worn evenly, with the fronts being changed in tandem approx 22,000 and the rears at about 50 k. (17'' on both models)

Hey-ho....
