Answer in the picture. Brilliant!

Can’t wait to find out the cost of fixing...

It may cost you absolutely nothing if you pull the wheel speed sensors and give them a good clean :D I fitted new pressure sensors and it wasn't those, lights still on. Sent the ABS pump away for testing...it was fine. Cleaned the wheel speed sensors and hey presto...all lights gone ! That was 3 years ago and still fine :thumbsup:
 
Same. Recalibrated steering sensor using inpa and all sorted.

Mine happened after doing tie rods
 
It it is the ABS pump, I had mine done by ECU Testing who refurb them and guarantee the part for life, cheaper than buying a new one - I was told they are a couple of grand (not sure how true this is)

All in was about £600 with a new caliper too, so probs £100 off that.

My lights went on 5 miles after i’d bought the car. Felt well and truly tucked up, hadn’t even got to the petrol station :headbang:
 
Depending on where you are, there is a place near Exeter that will do a while you wait service for about £300 all in. That was for the refurbed ABS unit, together with a full brake bleed (including engaging the ABS pump whilst doing so to work any bubbles out).

This was useful for me as mine is a daily driver (and I couldn't find a garage that was willing to take the motor out, keep the car for a week, and then refit it once it was back)!

Was that from a dealer or private?
 
Jeez, all these wild guesses! You really need to put a code reader on it but the tyre pressure monitor light is a big clue. It is either a wheel speed sensor or steering angle sensor.

Here’s the results, looks like the steering sensor

Easy enough to do on the driveway? From the codes looks like this could be my problem

Jack up one side and put it on axle stands. Both wheels off and then get round the back of each hub with a brush and knock off any loose muck (an air line is good if you have one) and then soak the caphead allen bolt on the wheel speed sensor with some penetrating oil. I was lucky and they all came out without rounding out. I used soapy water and a toothbrush to clean the sensors. Put some copperslip on the threads when putting them back. Repeat for t'other side :thumbsup:
