Can I just ask, how does this fit in around you changing the brake discs and pads?
Did it happen before or after?

Mr_E85Bim, is your car still driveable?
I am getting a train from Norfolk to Sussex on Saturday and driving yet another project car home. As this has an intermittent EPS issue I am not keen to drive it into built up areas.
However I will be coming back up the M23 and M25 then through the Dartford Tunnel mid to late afternoon.
If you are able to find an easily accessible meeting place then I am happy to stick my code reader on and see what it tells us.
Times will be a bit vague as I am hoping to visit my old man while I'm down there, but if you're available and flexible then let me know.

That is a very kind offer good sir!

Since I changed the front discs the problem appears to have gone away. I did play around with the front sensors a little. Perhaps some dirt was obstructing one of them.

I'm off to Bournemouth for a stag do this Saturday. Otherwise, I would have taken you up on the offer just out of curiosity. To see if any codes are showing.

I hope your journey goes without any major hiccups.

Thank you again :thumbsup:

Well that's good news!
If your disturbing of stuff around the sensors has made it go away then there's a good chance you now know where the problem lay. If it comes back, start there first.
Enjoy your weekend.

Gents, I need your expertise pls!!

So the lights came back. This time I was ready with the OBD. I have the following codes:
5d92
5d91
5d93

States its the front left. I assume its the sensor. But I am thrown by the pulse gear for 5d92. Should I be concerned?
Also, I did a live feed while driving and the front left wasn't showing speed on the readout. But the I cleared the codes and went for a drive again. This time it was showing a readout the same as the other three wheels. Of course, the faults came back after some driving.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance
