As soon as I drove the car today, the lights came back on

New sensor ordered

At least it is the cheap one. The rear one which I have to change as well is more than twice the cost

Which sensor was it?
Be sure to soak the mounting bolt in penetrating oil beforehand and use the exact size Allen key. 5mm or 6mm, can’t remember which.
Take it easy as you don’t want that bolt shearing off.
Last one I did we had to resort to Mole grips and removed the calliper to get enough purchase on the bolt.

I ordered the Torx replacement bolts on your recommendation, so when I do the jobs at least I have the replacements to go in.

Don’t you love it when it all goes right for once ! New sensor fitted without and problems, did a reset, and it nows drives without any warning lights

Great stuff. I still haven’t done mine

Did you get it out ok without issues?

Came out a treat. Biggest struggle was getting the grommet back on the back of the strut !
