    Thanks chaps. Still kinda surprised how competitive the car is, seeing as I could add 35bhp and still be legal in class B.

    The diff was very noisy at full lock so will see about an oil change before the next outing.

    But on the upside, I finally got the steering angle sensor on a switch. Second time lucky... this is the correct wire.

    Great result Liam, and really great to meet you too! Me and the boys were cheering you on up through Druids and thought you did brilliantly :driving:
    Thanks again for bringing the coupe rear blind and entry. We had a fantastic day :thumbsup:

My preference is for ABS on and DSC off which I achieved by disconnecting the steering angle sensor. However, prolonged disconnection seems to cause a soft brake pedal so it's occasionally reconnected.

    FTR, my Sport button and DSC buttons both operate as they did before I started removing things.
    Found it :thumbsup:
