Very useful, thanks marley, glad you got it sorted. I found this video on how to remove the cover: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=POcLARyGikw

I have actually seen that video! (when I was googling how to gain access to the radar.

I got it off easily enough. I didn't even think about cleaning the inside of the badge to be honest!

In hindsight though? It makes perfect sense!

I wanted to "have a look" at the radar sensor thingy, to see if anything was obviously broken....there wasnt!

I'm just chuffed to get the car back working fine for a decent price!

I had visions of needing a new "radar" sensor....did a quick google for them....they werent cheap at all!

Sounds good to me! Wasn't sure if it was allowed?!

They are   Euro Performance, in Llantrisant , South Wales. (very close to the Royal Mint!).

Ive seen them recommended on other forums, and they have great feedback elsewhere too.

That's great news Marley!

Glad you got it fixed and it's useful to tell everyone on here how the problem was discovered.

Cheers for that!

It was really "bugging me"! I wanted it fixed, but was worried it would cost a lot of money!

Luckily it wasnt! I still cant believe, why I didnt think of cleaning the damn inside! of the badge covering the Radar sensor!

Though saying that?

I assume even if I had managed to clean the inside of the badge, the car would probably have to be "scanned" etc. to remove the faut? I was charged £108  (including VAT)  .

Im very hapy though, that the car has gone through a "thorough scanning"! on proper diagnostic laptops etc, and a trial run was performed, whilst diagnostics/laptop etc was plugged into car.

Plus! the car was nicely vacuumed and washed too! (not forgetting the key fob battery lol!).
