Interesting post James and you're dead right, every time we change to a newer model it's a big learning curve.

| If the sensor fails I wonder if there's a way to stop the message from coming up if the car has to be run for some time without the monitoring system 🤔. I would be happy to live without it anyway. |

I bought a pressure bleeder but didn't get round to trying it yet. Some people say that the pedal is always a bit soft on the L405 but we'll see.
Hope you got your pipe fixed.

So I get a regen about every 200 miles which seems to be about the norm for the V6. I wonder why it is then that my mate who has a Jag XF V6 averages 2300 miles? Same engine surely.
