Hi,had the front springs,shocks top mounts and outer tie rods changed,using bilstein b4 shocks and suplex springs.
Firstly the steering is slightly off centre the garage did say it would need alinement which i new and is booked in saturday on a hunter system
My problem is after leaving the garage and driving around 10 miles the dreaded 3 lights appeared ,traction handbrake and tyre pressure.I called garage they advised getting tracking done first then clear codes this should solve issue,he did say if it doesnt bring it in no problem.
Does this sound feasible?I think steering angle sensor is just reading problem at the minute.
The car drives great more accurate steering feel faster turn in generally a lot tighter so I am more than happy with that.
Anyone any experience with this.thanks
 
I had the same problem after replacing loads of suspension bits and the alignment was miles off, I can't remember if anything needed resetting after the alignment or if the lights just cleared themselves though.

You would have remembered if you had major problems,so I will take this as a positive :D
 
True! I took it to a specialist for the alignment, they would have had the gear to reset it if needed
 
Just to close this thread off and pass on the info,the lights were coming on after a short drive and then going of when engine was switched off then returning on after another short drive,took the car for hunter alinement this morning done about 15 miles since and the lights have not returned so the alinement appears to have sorted this issue as the mechanic who fitted suspension parts said it might. :thumbsup:
