Well i mentioned the bleeps on entry to the dealer today while they were investigating my steering wheel and this is what they techie said....
Have you read the manual?
erm..... FFS of course I havent read it to within an inch of its life, why?
techie - Talk me through what you do before you get out of the car
I was tempted at this point to say - scratch my balls and pick my arse but I took him through putting it into park, putting on the park brake and then switching it off
Techie - you are driving your car wrong sir
WTF?
Techie - if you do that as you get finish a journey the car will rest on its park brake if you dont put the ECB on quick enough. This will lead to the warning and to occasional slight thud into reverse when you restart as it is releasing from a position it shouldnt be in. This will be more prevalant if you park on anything other than a completely level ground
Well there you go, let that be a lesson to you all, park your car correctly!
