I have a panoramic roof - and had the same msg in July'10 a year after I had the car.

They changed the sensor (and in the process broke some of the centre console - but that's another story) - have had no reoccourrence

- dpf sensor
- satnav cameras
- satnav disks
- flat battery
- iphone stuff (despite me despising apple!)
- bluetooth stuff
- blis stuff
- voc stuff
- other items? suggestions?

i haven't suffered from any of these issues (touchwood), so it would be interesting to know how many have/ haven't.

I agree that it would be useful, I have lost track over the years when reporting an obscure problem the dealer has implied that I must be a) mistaken, b) the only person who has this fault, c) being fussy, d) just plain stupid!

i think we'll leave this one out , but agree with wind noise.

i think we should stick to faults and user issues which have prevented people from being able to use something. this would exclude spare tyres and switch positions. thoughts?

Xenon headlight can be changed in settings for motoring abroad but single fog light needs to be changed over by dealer; not too handy if it's just for going on holiday.

This should qualify as it is preventing me using the car abroad

If you mean flatulence I beg to differ.

i thought the poll would be along the lines of "tick the boxes for issues you've been affected by". not sure if issues which are inherently part of the vehicle set up should be included since by default everyone's affected by them?
