The previous issue with the parking sensor - it's not working - however when I start the car and go in reverse - the f**king noise of the thing beeping - how easy is it to disable that?


You'd probably need VAG com OBDII reader to disable the parking censor.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Sounds coming from dashboard when I start car or turn off. Sounds electrical. 
And the heat doesn't work straight after car starts. Takes about 30 seconds so have to wait to turn it on
Wouldn’t have clue, way too many variables to even guess. Have you had it looked at? 

Due a service so will book in next week

Got the car a full valet last week but there is a horrible smell of damp in it. The guy did say leave the windows down when I got home, which I did for awhile but not overnight. 

New airfreshener nor even helping.

Should I be bringing it back?

if it keeps coming on it’s unable to properly clear itself so you’ll need to get it looked at. 

Get a DPF cleaner from the likes of Mick's garage and see if that clears it , my kadjar had a "check anti pollution system " message for 2 years that would randomly disappear, it sailed through the nct during one of these windows so it just needed a clean , was quoted €700 to have it sorted in a main dealer , €50 bottle of cleaner did the trick 
Cheers folks!
