I do like to worry but i don't take it seriously anymore. C'est la vieOne step nearer a nervous breakdown by the sounds of it

I couldn't be bothered with a car that caused me so much head scratching, the P38 is a paragon of reliability by comparison.
Does the reversing sensor detect whatever you're towing? that would drive me mad or, can you disable it manually?thanks. i think the DPF has been fudged rather than switched off because theres fake/static values in place.. presumably to tell the car never to regen, as opposed to say it doesnt have one. Unless thats the right way to do it?
specifically, i wanted to see why the reversing sensor doesnt switch off when towing electrics are plugged in.. i know its a small issue.. but thought it would be an easy fix
i tend to check DTCs every 2-3 months just because.. why not...
Yes but you can disable temporarily. If you're shunting then it's a pain
No, standard bulbs. The little trailer icon flashes so it knows it's plugged in to some degree

I think the trailer detection for the PDC relies upon the sidelight circuit(s), the indicator 'trailer' icon is a separate system that just works by detecting additional current draw. Try temporarily adding some extra load to the sidelight circuit, see if that triggers it.
Will do!! In the next week or so.. I'll check it's got the proper rated bulbs in
