[quote=""Sanj""][quote=""fenj66""]are they easy to get to to hopefully dry out?

cheers..[/quote]

No... :thumbsdown: Bumper needs to be pulled forward to get to them. x555 took his off, I pulled mine forward and got my hands behind them...

Defo wait for the better weather or in the cover[/quote]

As Sanj said you can ease the bumper forward instead of taking it off ......i took mine off as i had to replace the lower grilles at the same time ;)

I haven't tried this yet but Intravention have released a new version of beta software which incorporates sensor readings (of some sort). I need to install this and check it out - not sure what it does just yet...

Would be great if the IV2 could diagnose a faulty sensor - is this wishful thinking??? :roll:

just by way of an update to my original problem,.....
the pdc seams to have rectified itself!
i put the fault down to the sub zero temps and slushy driving conditions over the past weeks. but im guessing the troublesome sensors have dried themselves out and hopefully all is good again!
thanks everyone for the advice, im glad i didnt have to resort to front bumper removal, it looks a pain. :)
