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.

It is 5mm from my research

Cheers.
Old age setting in! Only did the job last weekend.

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 !

Mine has just started displaying these 4 warning lights, but only intermittently. It doesn’t do it on a really smooth road.

Car has just come back from having a new starter motor fitted. Could something have been knocked to cause this?

Pretty sure it’s coincidence.
You’d need codes read to ascertain exactly what the problem is but as the wheel sensors record wheel revolutions then it maybe suggests one of those as obviously on a bend some wheels turn faster than others

If I remember well you are not too far from me? I have a code reader

Thanks for the offer PVR.

My alternator failed yesterday, producing more lights than a Jean Michelle Jarre concert! Prior to that the 4 warning lights didn’t show themselves.

Being an optimist I am hoping that the new alternator will sort things out. If not I may well take you up on your kind offer.

Thanks for the advice chaps.
