Well on the plus side, you can't be far from Ross at RBM, so you know you'll get good workmanship and diagnosis.

Oh, ok, fair enough. I admit I'm not au fait with him, but your continued patronage must mean something.
Hope you get it sorted.

Try to change battery or and voltage regulator, I know sounds stupid but that was the case for me

The battery should be OK, only replaced it a few months ago

If Will has read the codes and it's showing a DSC fault it looks like you may need another one.
When my battery died last year I got the same three amber lights after jump-starting it. Ross read the codes and reset the steering angle sensor setting and they have stayed off since then, but I think there are a few other problems that can cause the same 3 lights to come on.
Good luck getting it sorted.

Thanks, I think it's moisture that has got in again, I'm tempted to see if it dries out and the problem goes away over the warmer months

When I had all four it turned out to be an ABS sensor on the wheel, front left in my case.
That could be a cheaper answer for you? My code reader showed up which one was the issue.

OK cheers, I've noticed light steering, did you suffer from that at all?

Nope. Trying to work out what would cause that? With those lights on my traction control was inhibited, as I discovered when I tried to reverse up my gravel drive on a slope!!
Now how would that make the steering lighter? Most odd.
Ha! Unless you've pumped the front tyres up way too hard to the point where the DSC can't cope.

Strange isn't it. My traction control is definitely working as I gave it some beans to test and it flickered away nicely

Well that's me out of ideas I'm afraid.
What's the plan? Swap the yaw sensor as a diagnostic? Or check for other codes?

Back to TWG and see what the codes say. I imagine it will be a new DSC sensor and hope that fixes things
