2) having found the fault, replace the sensor - if bought from a Volvo dealer many pennies apparently
3) pull the fuse for the "ping" alarm........recommended only as a short term fix
4) contact a breaker for a replacement sensor - "minty" is breaking a C70 rag top at the moment and may have the sensor you are looking for. His mobile number is 07841056796

Thanks I will start by trying to locate the micro/switches you mention, then try cleaning them. If no luck I will try to get someone to local to read codes.
Thanks
