I cannot imagine it would be a straight swap but have you considered an aftermarket stereo?

The sensors do not have to be original equipment but of reputable quality which Bosch are.
The only other thing to check is if there are exhaust leaks that are causing the sensors to run high on Lambda.
Put a rag over the exhaust pipe with the engine running (outside in fresh air of course) and listen for any hissing which would indicate an air leak -
Wow! something as simple as that, I didn't even think of suggesting that as a possible cause as being so new and also would imagine it had tyre pressure sensor fitted.
Amazing what difference that can make and rectifiable at a cost of 20 pence in a tyre inflator.
Thanks for letting us know the outcome

Let us know how you get on with it
But I would be tempted to go to Protyre or Tyreland as they have the correct equipment and training to carry out the checks
-
I would firstly check the correct type of bulbs are fitted as an incorrect one can 'backfeed' the lighting system
Check one side and compare with the other side as should have the same bulbs
-
It sounds like an alignment problem
Would be worth driving it to an Alignment centre (ProTyre for example) and get them to check the measurements to see if this is the issue

Wait to hear the outcome, hopefully it won't be too long and drive you insane

It might be worth listing it in the For Sale section of this forum

By swapping the sensors around and the same one still comes up with the fault suggests its not the sensor that is faulty,
I would be tempted to look at the connector and wiring for that sensor (vehicle side not sensor side connectors) -
Had a similar issue with an Alfa Romeo that used to make similar noises usually in the dry rather than when it had been raining.
I used to spray Silicon spray liberally over the rubber bushes and the noise would disappear for quite a while, but always returned

Most clutch plates can handle a stage 1 tune but when power is loaded onto it then the cover/pressure plate sometimes does not clamp sufficiently to deliver the load
-
It would be a temperature sensed fan running as it needs to in order to maintain a constant operating temperature at all times

Moved post to For Sale section to promote response

Not sure about the compatibility of the locks but it may at least be a short term measure to avoid the door flying open?
Maybe also you could strip down both parts and make a good one out of the two?
-
you should be able to replace the lead but you may also be able to source an adapter possibly?
-
Thanks for the very detailed guide to fitting the tow bar electrics.
You seem to have done it very methodically and very neat installation.

Appreciate the reply, will get this sorted
Please let us know as it would be good to find out for future reference if it is an issue with sump gaskets on this model or a defective oil filter brand
-
can you swap the sensors (e.g. the lead connections) so that the fault if present with the sensor is switched to number 1 and this will confirm a fault
-
I would recommend anything that is manufactured in UK or Europe, obviously avoid the cheap options as they are cheap for a reason.
I guess you could source the parts yourself and get the garage to fit the new ones, especially if they have failed in less than a year they would fit it cheaper for you
-
Sorry to hear that but I guess it is a fault you could live with and the car may give you many years of reliable service so you can recoup some of the money back on it
-
You can get aftermarket sounds deadening but ensure it is fireproof and not capable of sagging onto the engine.
Wind deflectors are the best way forward and will definitely improve the wind noise

from memory the fuel pump is actuated by the system relay which I think is the one in the photo.
it needs a crankshaft signal which if not present (e.g. crank sensor faulty) then it won't run the system relay
-
I wouldn't have thought the 2009 model has bluetooth but you could get an after-market audio system with bluetooth
-
Slight perforation in the oil filter spraying a fine mist onto the engine block.
Also, it could be a poor gasket on the sump

Can anyone help me

I would be tempted to disconnect the battery negative terminal (assuming it is fully charged already) and leave it off for 15 minutes then reconnect.
See if that reinitialises the instrument panel then
