The only issues so far are the start stop and drive away parking brake aren't working, the front parking sensors also aren't working and there's abit of a tear on the rear right seat bolster, the dealership know of all these and are going to work with me to get it all sorted.

Catteeclan Posted March 16, 2024 Share Posted March 16, 2024 Strat stop and auto handbrake could be related to the clutch position switch but a quick diag will show that up. Nice car but you're gonna bite your hand off when you scrape them wheels on the curbs. Stupid oversized tyres will bankrupt you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
