LOL, it has 4 (5?) wheels and it goes "Brmmm!" (pretty much all I've ever asked, beyond a little reliability, from a car). This is a 10 year old car which is about as "low rent" as they come, I doubt it has much in the way of "sensitive ultrasonic sensors". Anyway, I'm gratified to know more about it now such that if I had no other option I might be able to poke about with some hope of success. However given it wouldn't take me < 3 hours that I don't have, plus probably at least one trip to Halfords, plus the risk of damaging car or multimeter I think I'll be taking it to the mechanic; if I could stand on the roof of our house I could throw stones and hit at least two . Thanks again folks, Tom
