Hey you still ok?
Ok post 2 and I like this issue.
While not being technical I'm also not a rally driver. It has been known, upon occasion that I can drive my little car aggressively. Moi?
It has been explained to me that the brake and clutch pedals have activity switches which open when the pedals are pressed. I have been informed I might have hit the clutch and brake pedals at the same time (accidently)and this has caused the system on the car to get confused. When it does get confused the ABS, ESP, Hillholder and on occaision the cruise control & Bluetooth system all stop working and I'm advised to check my handbook. The brake lights have been known to remain on too!
The car meanwhile works fine still!
The cure, is a pair of small hands apparently! a technician / mechanic reaches up under the dashboard to these switches for the pedals and closes the switch rectifying the problem.
Anybody else drive like me? I have big feet I know but there are times when driving that I might need to hit the brakes and clutch at the same time.
Your thoughts please? I like the garage but it's a pain keep going back every few months for 'the same problem' as we now call it!
Thanks.
