Ping
Hi,
On the way to work today there was a "Ping" as I went round a corner.
I did not notice any warning light come on or flash along with the ping.
I checked the oil on Sunday and it was fine.......full up
Is there the odd random Ping now and again?
Cheers
Allan

Cold
Yes, it was V cold.............about 3oC.
The little snow flake was there at first but thinking back...............It did get colder.
Being in Aberdeen you will need to get used to the 'ping'. I'm 100% sure that was the reason this morning. I think it comes in at 3 or 4 degrees. We sometimes get that in summer don't we?

A bag will get multiple pings! What tends to happen is you move through different temperature ranges and go back to colder ones which result in a ping!DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Ping
Could also be the fact that a motorbike whizzed past your PDC. Sometimes get that on the motorway when they are swerving in and out of traffic.06 Bonatti Grey HSE, Ebony Interior with Privacy Glass & Rubbing Strips.
