:eek:Just a wee note to the wise. My traction control light and my ABS warning light both decided to come on at the same time shortly before my front pads needed changing. changed the pads no change to the lights and the 3 beeps. Contacted the local stealer who advised me to bring it in and run it through the diagnostics at a mere £78 +vat this was the only way to identify the problem apparently .After the offending sensor was replaced at a cost of £40 per sensor plus fitting (£80 per hour I believe)They also advised that the ABS light was on a latch and would need reset at a further cost of £40 nice price so far. I managed to track down 2 new front sensors £66 total changed both together doddle of a job .Remove caliper, remove shield ,pry out sensor disconnect and renew and viola ABS light out traction control light out no more probs for £66. Dealer price £158 plus 2 hours ( min )labour at £160 plus vat near on £400 .Just thought I would share this with you guys see ya Davy:(
