    Yep, that's called "the trifecta"
    Common problem.

    The wheel speed sensor is usually NOT "bad" per se... but a flaky wheel speed sensor signal is detected. Usually, disconnecting, removing, cleaning and reinstalling the left front sensor will resolve this.

    Why? Lol seems like it could be that, if I do restart the car and drive a little it goes off which would make sense if it is a sensor. Also RHD FTW :D

    I know, and I've got an extra switch to turn on some extra lights in the air vents! I doubt it's the battery as I've been doing some wiring for my new headlights and everything was fine.

    I'll have a look at this, like I said it normally comes on after heavy rain or a proper wash so I'm thinking its dirt running on it, it does go off after restarting the car so it more than likely is the sensor.

    Those look fantastic, never seen halos on there own only in cluster, did you get them off eBay or out of another cluster?

    Also it's my birthday today! Yay!!

    Never bring a knife to a gun fight, its not fair to the guy with a gun. I have seen guys that have tangled with knife fighters. I thank I would rather be shot. Your chances of survival are higher.

    Just drove home from work, and hit a deer. Or rather what was left of it. A semi in front of me hit the deer, and I barely had time to swerve when I hit the carcass on the passenger side of the Justa. After I pulled into the driveway, I took a brush and a bucket of hot water to clean off the blood and meat. Couldn't see anything major, but I'll put it onto the ramps in the morning to take a closer look.

    Do a good inspection for 'parts of the animal' as you may find strange odors...later.

    Well, I seemed to have dodged a bullet there. I just put the Coop up on the ramps, and can see no major damage. In fact, the only thing that I can see is that the black trim/spoiler under the front bumper has popped out of it's joint with the side wheel arch trim. I must have swerved just enough, plus I hit the deer at it's narrow end and not the rump.

    Goldsmithy. Yep, there is still blood/meat all the way from the front to the rear (mostly on the jacking points). I'll call in at the local car wash on the way to work and spray the car off.

    I know of a company that will be making an exhaust for the F56S - price remains to be seen, but the product is top notch.
