Hi guys,
thank you for your help, I’ll give motability a call to inform them just been out in it again I cleaned the front sensor ( only had a full body wash Sunday) just to see and as soon as I turned the car on it pinged. On the journey home it only started pinging continuously when the heated seat was on. I presume the heated seat and steering were are connected to the same component which could be the issue. Fingers crossed it gets fixed as other than this I love the car!
I’ll definitely inform them though of the issues so they are aware. I’m keeping a daily log from now until it goes in.
