Well we're home now with the new car, i have to say it is a very nice car very quiet, its quick enough for the road and economic enough so it should be cheaper to run than the jag was.

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.

woudn't worry about the start stop ...only works if the moon and sun are aligned and a certain temp and if you had kebab for your dinner

The start stop could be the battery needs charging it happens to my wife's car because she only does short journeys in it. If i put it on charge overnight it starts working again

I was going to guess its the auxiliary battery that they normally have, not sure what's wrong with the auto release handbrake though

Did you buy it from a dealer ...what is it..audi ?..could be it needs to be reprogrammed or something...if it's from a used carlot...maybe some backyard mechanic might have fuck up the calipers if they installed new pads...

It was from a bodge it and scarper, they have been really good with it all though and have said they will work around my schedule to get the work done that is needed, and all FOC so I'm not too pissed off about it

Well its going in for a recall soon as its still outstanding so let's just see what I can get working I don't see why it shouldn't be working unless there's a good reason like its been disconnected in the past

Well if its fucked up the calipers then I'll be wanting new calipers for piece of mind and they best be painted red like the current ones

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.
