Don't forget that you have certain rights under UK consumer law. When was it purchased - and did you advise dealer that there might be an issue, how long after purchase was that? If you did make a complaint, what was their response? Pretty unlikely that dealer was unaware of the problem at time of sale.

Unfortunately, a whole lot more to go wrong with an electronic device - and when it does, it will usually be a complete fail.
-
Where are you located? - someone close to your area can probably make a recommendation.

You need to get a compression test done on the engine. Was this bought through a dealer?
-
With that oil use, I can't imagine that the catalyser is functioning now. Even if it was blowing the oil out through the crankcase breather, that amount of smoke should be very noticeable.
-
Is this a diesel or petrol? Strongly suggest getting the cylinder compressions tested. At an estimated oil use of 9 litres in 1000 miles, that engine should be smoking like an old T72 - or dropping oil like the Torrey Canyon!

I assume your garage has confirmed that the reverse sensors do not operate - at least you have the issue logged with them now.

Doesn't it just slip onto the middle vane?

Actually quite like the Polar white look.
-
Hmmm, not keen on the red/black contrast - maybe it'll look better in another colour way.
-
If the reverse light is operating, that indicates that the gear box reverse position switch is ok. Presumably these sensors didn't work when you bought it? Is this a recent purchase - is there any warranty? I gather there will be a very faint, but audible, clicking noise when the sensors are operating, have you tried that? You will probably need to get the system scanned for faults.
-
I'd say yes, rear sensors are fitted. Does the reversing light work correctly?
-
Hello, are you able to post an image of your rear bumper? The 'little round circles' you mention suggest that you should have rear parking sensors.
-
Relying solely on engine and tyre sensors and trusting service technicians to get it right is seemingly a common bad habit nowadays - I'm not suggesting it's necessary to carry out a full, military, first/last parade every time you drive a vehicle - but a regular quick check of levels, tyres, etc. is a great idea.

I recall having a problem bleeding a Volvo D40 engine on a couple of occasions - it turned out that engine had stopped with the pump cam lobe in raised position both times - simply barring-over the engine on the starter allowed full stroke on fuel pump to bleed properly.

Hello, welcome to the forum. The zip ties on the wheel covers were a common tip to prevent them being lost. A few scuffs and gouges on the covers aren't too much to worry about provided the rims themselves are undamaged.
-
A useful method is to be familiar with oil levels under both states (hot and cold) - then you will be able to check for correct level at any time. Level immediately after a run will be a little lower than if engine is allowed to stand and circulated oil has drained back to sump.
-
I have oil capacity for the 1.4, 150PS as 3.8 litres - which, I believe, includes the oil filter change.
-
In the case of a supply grid power failure, I would expect there to be a device installed to the outlet to prevent energy export - as is the case with all Solar energy systems (G59 relay)

Hello Mat, welcome to the forum. Is this 'play' in the hub bearings themselves? Are you sure the bearings are the correct ones for your hubs? Are the hub bearings the Taper Roller type - and if so, is there a spacer fitted between inner and outer bearing races on the Mk 1 front hubs?
-
E vehicle infrastructure still has a long way to go, anecdotal evidence suggests that existing infrastructure is way off set standards on service availability. Is there any control on charge pricing at present?
-
In yours (and others) experience, is this typical of charging facilities at present?
