    Can't wait to see what the 4 ways are like, gonna be difficult to know what has made the different though!
    No, Nigel stripped both front shocks, one had seized due to being parked up too long after rain I guess.

    You'll hate the 4 way until you manage to get it set up. Luckily you'll have help. Then it will be lovely

    Check pad sensors haven't come loose and been ripped off \ damaged too (assuming you run them zip tied to the struts?).
    What I was thinking as both shocks were removed this week.

    Yep gonna check fluid and check callipers for any weaping nipples.

    Can the rear handbrake stick or could the disconnected pad sensors trigger this?

    Mike he cleared all the faults and put out the lights but I had about 1/2 a dozen different ones illuminated. Didn't take the same length of time as yours that's for sure. I seem to remember him saying your car was not recognising the sensor its self so that was causing an issue.

    Did your mate have to reset / reconfigure the software to recognise it like he did mine, or did the lights go off by themselves ?

    Running the MK60 ABS standalone now :thumbs:
    I think "running" may be an exageration

    It might just need the a software reset . Toughy bought a new sensor as he thought one of his had gone as well - turned out it needed the same reset as mine and nothing more.
