    Alarm driving me MENTAL

    Does this permanently switch off the ultrasonic sensors or do they reset back on every time you start the car up?

    Broken nearside front coil spring

    slight squeak

    Sounds like it could be that, it did it again this morning, is it something thats easily rectified?

    slight squeak

    I don't think it was that because the same thing happened a couple of week ago, squeak on the way to work then nothing again after, could it be a wheel bearing?

    slight squeak

    On the way to work this morning when trundling along slowly at junctions i could hear a slight squeak that seemed to be coming from one of the rear wheels, it wasnt a high pitched squeak but on the way home from work it had vanished, any ideas?
