The EPB won't work if it's not secured and level, but I suppose you know that now. Calibrate it once secured if it's still throwing up fault codes.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

sure i replied on this this morning but i must have not pressed submit.....
Breather vent back on with some JB , got it all back together this morning drove around a bit , needed to pump the suspension up and down a few times and start and stop , clear the errors , all seems to be good now apart from the parking brake flashing red sometimes (although working properly ) , but putting the parking brake on and off again seems to clear it, that I can live with for now. Never want to do another handbrake on this ever , specially on a gravel drive....
Gone back for MOT today fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it would not have got there without it.

I couldnt get one out of my reader but will try again when I get it back from the garage.
It wouldnt go into bedding in mode either but that could just be me not being able to count the ups and downs on the button , it was early in the morning and i had spent 45 mins on my back rolling around in the gravel by then and was losing the will to live.
I can survive with the lights every now and again as long as it get through the MOT, i only do about 5k a year and i have a roll of black tape which will block it out...
thanks again , appreciate the time to reply

You can skip the bedding in if the EPB is holding the car. If not apply the EPB then drive forward 5 meters and then reverse 5 meters. You might need a few attempts but if the shoe adjustment is correct it should hold the car when stopped!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
