If you had lower arms replaced, it must have a proper 4 wheel alignment followed by recalibration of the steering angle sensor otherwise, you get all the bells and whistles you're currently experiencing. Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.

If the car has not been used for 2 months , what is the state of the battery? Low voltage will cause many unexplained warning issues

hi
wonder as the compressor isn't running if he's disturbed one of the 3 x terminal connectors that sit behind front passenger side wheel arch liner
know ref the garage saying the compressor only has 5 volts when it should have 12 volts
just a thought if one of the wires have been pulled out and just need repairing , as one of these connectors go to the compressor

i will have to speak to the garage i belive this is what happended as no lights were on before it went apart from the suspension light which i think is the height sensor, he did say the volts from compressor were too high or low cant remember exactly

my thinking is at least it won't hurt for him to check the wiring out first
to then ensure the correct voltages are going to the compressor
is only the case of removing the front wheel then taking out the inner wheel arch to access them
plse let us know how u get on

Missed this. Would be checking they have not damaged the wheel speed sensor, or CV joint My D3 Build Thread
