Ok, it's probably the images that are ****e, I'll have another go and show you all again. It's meant to have a slightly more sloped bonnet, I'll give it another go and show you

it just bongs all the time, in any mode. clutch engaged disengaged, high, low brake, handbrake. everything. i do get a whirring noise when the traction control works but i assumed that was normal. linked do you think? maybe a problem with the hub sensors?
