    Pedestrian crash sensor - Airbag light

    i don't mean to open an old post but did you have any luck with this, as mine has just thrown up this error. Also if anyone knows the part number for this sensor that would be helpful, as google has multiple numbers. I don't really want to take the bumper off multiple times if i can help it...

    Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 Tyres?

    I have these tyres on mine and I've got to say they're some of the best tyres I've had, especially on standing water absolutely no aquaplaning and just slices through the water.
