Good luck with Chandlers pal. If it's all going tits up though mate, maybe you should think about a nice RB320 or something?

Did contemplate a rb 320, just wanted a change,which i am well pleased with.
Done some research now and have done a reset,lights gone,its all linked to the flat tyre warning,it messes up the ABS and brake sensors too.
The SMG speed sensor then gets confused.

When you have new tyres you should calibrate the flat tyre detection system,having researched this, many people have problems with the light coming on after new tyres are fitted.

Glad thats all sorted mate.

Only kidding about the RB320 BTW

Didn't realise you needed to do that on the Tyre thing, funnily enough, it's been absolutely fine since I put those pressures in that you recommended.
