[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1055665, member: 13739"] I think I'll make this a recurring feature - "what has Dylan fixed on his car this week!" :) Literally the day after doing the the work on the alternator and OFH gasket whilst doing the school run, the traction control, ABS and hazard symbol lights popped up on my dash! A little googling later suggested the likely cause was a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor, but there was some suggestions misaligned tracking can also cause issues. I'd only just had my tracking done, which they'd struggled with on the rear-left, so took it back to them first. They spent an hour trying to wrestle it into spec, but there's certainly something up back there, nothing huge, but something I'll need to address soon. Unfortunately it didn't solve my ABS/traction control issues. I was also made aware of some software available to download for BMW's called INPA, which when coupled with a £20 usb to OBDII cable gives full access to the full set of diagnostic and tuning software BMW dealers use. Armed with this I could see see real-time data from my wheel speed sensors, which clearly showed no reading from my front right. £30 and 10min of my time this weekend, and all is good again, well for now at least...
