A bit boring but here goes .... Hope this helps ;-) I have the park assist and find it a good tool to have , never had an issue with it .as company car driver and visiting several customers a day i am always searching for parking spaces. The park assist dosnt get used every day because it isn't always needed but I deffo use it 2-3 times a week. It works best for me when I maybe driving in an unfamiliar town and I am trying to find a space on the high street close to a customer and the traffic maybe very busy and parking spaces are snapped up quick .i can press the p/a button and let the tech/ little invisable wizard measure the spaces and tell me if the octy fits or not . I can concentrate on the driving and pedestrians etc and let the little wizard do his job with his tape measure !! Nothing worse for the ego than thinking your car fits ....you stop the traffic trying to squeeze it in the gap and after 2-3 attempts you realise .... You can't park a car . So you pull out and drive off and some smart arse in longer octavia fits in the space no probs !! I am usually carrying samples/paperwork so This often means that I manage to park a little bit can park closer to my customers & if the weather isn't so good I keep myself dry too . Tbh i don't know if I would have gone for the p/a if the car was a for private use only .....I probably wouldn't use it enough day to day to justify the price but during the week as a work tool it is very handy to have . And as a big billy bonus It also helps you out if a tight space if someone parks too close and blocks you in ;-)

Smart .... Like that a lot . Looks oem !!

???? welcome to the forum !

Hi there I had a similar issue and I ended up having a good old Read on " detailing world " found it interesting . I ended up using Srp and collinite 476 and meguiars mirror glaze over the top .it Deffo put more depth and highlighted the sparkle in the basecoat. Good luck , hope this helps ;-)

I had a squeak / rattle ....... It was really annoying & it just had to be found & killed quick !! I traced it to the trumpet shaped air outlet vents just above the drivers pedals . The end of One of them was just touching The black metal bar and this caused a vibration and buzzing sound . A quick snip and trim with sharp scissors (only about 1mm off one edge) and ........... Ahhhhhhhhh no more noise !! Quick simple fix for me. I hope this helps , regards Marky mark ;-)

Cheers guys ;-)
